Similar to IGF1, expression of NEDD4 is also positively correlated with mesenchymal phenotype markers (including Snail, Twist1, Zeb1, Slug, Vimentin, MYH11, LEF1, and FAP) and negatively correlated with epithelial phenotype marker MUC1 in GC. This evidence concerns the gene SNAI1 and gastric cancer.
