STARD13 and cancer: In addtition, due to E-cadherin is identified as a target of miR-9 by our group before and the levels of E-cadherin and vimentin are measured in this work, further supports should be needed to confirm that EMT regulation underlies the effects of STARD13 and its ceRNAs in cancer cells and to establish a direct link between this RNA network and EMT phenotypes.
