PEMT and non-small cell lung carcinoma: In addition, as a direct target of miR-151a, E-cadherin can inhibit the migration of NSCLC cells and the transition to a mesenchymal-like cell phenotype, which suggests that the miR-151a-mediated induction of E-cadherin inhibition is the main mechanism by which miR-151a enhances pEMT in NSCLC 83.
