More interestingly, almost the complete set of genes associated with EMT ( ETV5, NOTCH1, SNAI1, TGFB1, ZEB1 and ZEB2 ) were found to be specifically expressed in CTC from EC patients when compared to unspecific background from controls (Figure 3 ), with LOXL2 achieving a value close to significance (p = 0.08; data not shown).
