In addition, it is possible that KHSRP employs various strategies involving other than these three miRNAs and/or their targets to promote EMT of ESCC, because the effects of KHSRP on the expression of EMT-related molecules, including ZEB1, CDH1, BMP6, PDCD4, and TIMP3, were different among the selected ESCC cell models. Here, ZEB1 is linked to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
