Our simulations for the network consisting of SLUG, ZEB1, miR-200, CDH1 and PD-L1, integrated with single-cell and bulk RNA-seq data analysis, elucidate that hybrid E/M cells can have high levels of PD-L1, similar to those seen in cells with a full EMT phenotype, thus obviating the need for cancer cells to undergo a full EMT to be immune-evasive. The gene discussed is CDH1; the disease is cancer.
