We applied a flow cytometric approach to evaluate the distribution of VEGFR3/FLT4 and HGFR/MET receptors and SLUG/SNAI2 transcription factor (as representing pivotal regulators of the processes being studied) within populations of cells isolated from native cervical cancer tissues, which helped to take into account possible impact of post-transcriptional regulation [69] and cell heterogeneity, including the presence of immune cell infiltrates. Here, MET is linked to cervical carcinoma.
