Western blot analysis also demonstrated that the protein levels of Vimentin and N-cadherin were reduced, but that of E-cadherin was increased in glioma xenografts derived from U-87 MG-pLV-LASS2 cells compared with those derived from U-87 MG-pLV cells (Fig. 5H). The gene discussed is CDH2; the disease is central nervous system cancer.
