Similarly, to characterize the EMT spectrum in lung adenocarcinoma, Schliekelman et al. analyzed the cell morphologies and the ratios of surface localized E-cadherin to vimentin of 38 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines out of which nine were binned as epithelial, nine as mesenchymal, and 20 as hybrid E/M [59]. The gene discussed is VIM; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
