VIM and cancer: The paucity of the samples precludes the definition of clustering as in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3, but the gene expression data of Fig. 6 shows that, bar one exception, gastric cancers that produced a distant metastasis—the hallmark of stage IV cancer—have lower Claudins and E-Cadherin levels, higher NF-YAl, NF-YAl/NF-Ys ratios, and Vimentin.
