Furthermore, the results suggest that EMT progression is correlated with expression of genes normally repressed by KRAS, a pro-proliferation signal, and anti-correlated with the expression of genes associated with tumorigenic, but non-metastatic ovarian cancer, consistent with the idea of the E state of EMT being pro-proliferative and the M state being pro-migratory. Here, KRAS is linked to ovarian carcinoma.
