TNF and cancer: Other cancer cell types also showed positive correlations: MCF7 cells (TGF-β1, R2 = 0.24; TNF-α, R2 = 0.21, EGF, R2 = 0.22) (Fig. 7e−g), DU145 (TGF-β1, R2 = 0.1; TNF-α, R2 = 0.11, EGF, R2 = 0.11) (Supplemental Fig. 9a−c), and A549 (TGF-β1, R2 = 0.05; TNF-α, R2 = 0.1, EGF, R2 = 0.12) (Supplemental Fig. 9d−f), with breast cancer cells showing the strongest correlations between LGALS3 expression and EMT.
