The upregulation of ST6GAL2 was found in different types of cancer and was associated with breast cancer with higher expression of intracellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, vascular adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1, CD24, MMP2, MMP9 and C-X-C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR)4 [82,83]. This evidence concerns the gene VCAM1 and cancer.
