Consistently, oe-miR-5188-transfected HCC cells exhibited higher levels of β-catenin, Sox2, Oct4, Nanog, CCND1, N-cadherin, vimentin, Ki67, and PCNA and lower levels of E-cadherin compared with those in control cells in the xenograft mouse model (Figure S4F). Here, SOX2 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
