SNAI1 and colorectal cancer: A previous study reported that the accumulation of Snail in colorectal cancer cells and in mice utricle sensory epithelia cells, after blocking the degradation of this protein through the glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), via lithium chloride treatment or the overexpression of Snail, might trigger the transition into mesenchymal-like cells [43, 48, 49].
