Additionally, we report a novel role for fibronectin in regulating integrin B1 subunit receptor expression in CTCs, and while fibronectin’s ability to regulate SLUG activity in renal cell carcinoma cells to promote lung metastasis has been reported [105], we report for the first time an observation of this molecular phenomenon in CTCs of HCC and CRPC origin. This evidence concerns the gene FN1 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
