Further, the levels of metastasis-related proteins cadherin 2 (CDH2) and vimentin (VIM) were calculated to evaluate the metastasis potential of lymphoma cells, and it was evident that the knockdown of CLP36 led to the diminished levels of these two proteins in lymphoma cells (Figs. 3E and 3F, P < 0.05). The gene discussed is PDLIM1; the disease is lymphoma.
