PTPRC and neoplasm: We analyzed the expression of CDH1, five well-known EMT genes, and seven regulating miRNAs (Figure 1) in tumor centrum (TU-C), tumor invasive front (TU-IF), and in lymph node metastasis (LNM) and CTC-enriched blood fraction samples (by CD45 depletion) to identify aberrantly expressed miRNAs and genes, and understand their associations with clinical parameters of invasive and metastatic processes including LNM, CTC, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), and distant metastasis (MTS).
