TGFB1 and prostate adenocarcinoma: TGF-β signaling is linked to epithelial-mesenchymal transition [51, 52], Therefore, gene correlation analyses of LYL1 with TGFB, encoding TGF-β, and markers of EMT including CDH1, encoding E-Cadherin, CDH2, encoding N-Cadherin, and VIM, encoding Vimentin, were performed by using datasets of PRAD from TCGA and of normal prostate samples from GTEx in GEPIA.
