VIM and neoplasm: Consistent with the results of western blotting, the immunohistochemical analysis of tumor tissue sections showed that the molecular expression of TGF-β, Vimentin, ZEB-1 and N-cadherin was also reduced in tumor tissues, and that the SMAD-7 and E-cadherin expression was remarkably increased in the B16F10/GPI-IL-21 vaccination of mice that were then challenged by the B16F10/miR200c cells compared with B16F10/WT cells (Figure 5).
