EIF5A2 and ovarian neoplasm: We found that EIF5A2, and the mesenchymal markers β-catenin, snail2, and vimentin and pSMAD2 were downregulated, whereas the epithelial markers cytokeratin-7 and E-cadherin were upregulated in ovarian tumors of mice implanted with EIF5A2 KO SKOV3 compared to control cells (Fig. 7b).
