TGFB1 and neoplasm: Finally, we found that the expression of several EMT markers correlated tightly with MCT2 expression in PCa tumours (r2 > 0.8; Figure 2F), consistent with our observation of VIM and TGFB depletion in PCa cell lines following MCT2 knock-down and suggesting a link between MCT2 and EMT signalling pathways.
