VIM and gastric cancer: We found that the adipocyte enhancer binding protein 1 (AEBP1) and transcription factor 3 (TCF3) could interact in the nucleus and synergistically enhance the expression of Wnt signaling-associated genes, including WNT2/FZD2 (Wnt family member 2/frizzled class receptor 2) and VIM (vimentin), thus promoting the invasion, migration, and malignant metastasis of GC.
