The EMT properties of the NSCLC cell lines were tested using 3 mesenchymal markers (ZEB1, VIM, and FN1) and 11 epithelial markers (CDH1, EPCAM, ESRP1, ESRP2, DDR1, CTNNB1, CD24, CLDN7, KRT8, KRT19, and RAB25) using Western blots (Figure 3B). This evidence concerns the gene CD24 and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
