The data from western blot analysis indicated that the expression of E-cadherin (epithelial marker) was increased while the levels of N-cadherin (mesenchymal marker) and EMT-related proteins including Slug, Twist and ZEB1 were decreased after the depletion of LINC01559 in GC cells (Figs. 2B and S1B). The gene discussed is TWIST1; the disease is gastric cancer.
