NUCB2 and gastric cancer: To test this hypothesis, the expressions of NUCB2/nesfatin‐1 in GC tissues and normal adjacent tissues (NATs) were compared, and the effect of inhibition of NUCB2/nesfatin‐1 on the cell proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in GC cell line SGC‐7901 was investigated.
