We next performed IHC staining using tissue microarrays from the 60 GC patients mentioned above, which revealed that the protein expression of ZC3H13 in the GC tissues was significantly and positively correlated with SNTB1, as well as with the EMT-associated molecules N-cadherin, Vimentin and β-catenin, and significantly negatively correlated with E-cadherin (Fig. 5S, T). Here, VIM is linked to gastric cancer.
