VIM and non-small cell lung carcinoma: Levels of vimentin in MDA-MB-231-4175 cells and MDA-MB-231 were considerably higher based on Western blot and immunohistochemistry in MDA-MB-231-4175 cells and MDA-MB231 than in MDA-MB468, which retained epithelial characteristics and did not undergo similar mesenchymal differentiation (data not shown) Epithelial to endothelial transition (EET) shares many phenotypic characteristics of EMT, and hypoxia can promote VM in renal cell and non-small cell carcinoma [31] and is also associated with TNBC EET, EMT, and in turn, VM [31,32,33,34].
