VIM and neoplasm: Since EMT of tumor cells often leads to the enhancement of their migration and invasion ability, we performed correlation analysis using the TCGA database and found that TRIP13 expression was positively correlated with several EMT markers, as N-cadherin (p = 0.0043, r = 0.13), vimentin (p = 0.011, r = 0.12), Snail (p = 0.00038, r = 0.16), Twist (p = 5.1e − 09, r = 0.27), and ZEB2 (p = 6.8e − 05, r = 0.18) (Figure 3(a)).
