Furthermore, the results of Western blot illustrated that the expression of N-cadherin, Vimentin, and MMP9 was decreased in bladder cancer cells after over-expression of LINC00478 in T24 cells while being elevated following LINC00478 silencing in 5637 cells (Fig. 2E and Supplementary Fig. 1D). This evidence concerns the gene VIM and urinary bladder carcinoma.
