FN1 and ovarian carcinoma: Analysis of mesenchyme-specific (FN1, SNAI1, ZEB2) and epithelial (CLDN3) genes by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction revealed that ovarian cancer primary cells with high SSEA4 expression showed higher expression of mesenchyme-specific genes and lower expression of the epithelium-specific ones (Fig. 8a and b).
