Since E-cadherin and Vimentin are bona fide cell invasion and metastasis mRNAs (Cano et al, 2000; Cowin et al, 2005; Huber et al, 2011; Kallergi et al, 2011; Korsching et al, 2005; Lahat et al, 2010; Rakha et al, 2005; Thiery et al, 2009; Willipinski-Stapelfeldt et al, 2005; Yoo et al, 2012) involved in the initial steps of cancer progression we further investigated their Fmrp-mediated regulation. Here, VIM is linked to cancer.
