PRC1 and pancreatic neoplasm: Simultaneously, PRC1 was found to be linked to TGF-β-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related lung and pancreatic cancer cell lines (Wanna-Udom et al., 2021); CDKN3 has a role in regulating proliferation, invasion, and EMT transition in nasopharyngeal and lung cancers (Wang et al., 2011; Xing et al., 2012; Gao et al., 2019); TNS4 was reported to be associated with regulation of cell adhesion, motility, invasion and EMT in colorectal cancer (Raposo et al., 2020).
