WNT5A and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: To study the correlation between WNT5A and EMT in ESCC, we assessed WNT5A expression levels in multiple ESCC cell lines and found that WNT5A expression levels in EC109, EC9706, KYSE140, KYSE410, and KYSE450 cells were relative low, whereas the expression levels in KYSE30, KYSE510, and TE1 cells were relatively high (Fig. 2A).
