Paracrine Induction of Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Between Colorectal Cancer Cells and its Suppression by a p53/miR-192/215/NID1 Axis

摘要

Background & AimsIntratumor heterogeneity is a common feature of colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, we analyzed whether mesenchymal-like CRC cells promote the progression of epithelial-like CRC cells via paracrine mechanisms.
