We found that among the top-ranked putative binding proteins of VAL (Supplementary Data 2), Vimentin, which has been well-recognized as an EMT marker and whose biological importance in tumor metastasis in a non-EMT context is largely unknown, was identified and validated to interact with VAL (Fig. 4a, b and Supplementary Fig. 5c). Here, LINC01546 is linked to neoplasm.
