Indeed, the tumor cores (L and LB) were found to express numerous pEMT genes at significantly greater levels than the TME, including the laminins (LAMC1, LAMC2, LAMA3), integrins (ITGA2, ITGB1, ITGAV), and inflammatory and neutrophil-attracting chemokines (CXCL8, CXCL1). The gene discussed is ITGA2; the disease is neoplasm.
