Table 2 Comparison of Snail and Slug expression between preserved and reduced patterns of E-cadherin
From: The E-cadherin repressor slug and progression of human extrahepatic hilar cholangiocarcinoma
| Â | E-cadherin expression Preserved (n= 33) | E-cadherin expression Reduced (n= 19) | P |

Slug mRNA | Â | Â | Â |
Overexpression (n = 18) | 5 (27.8) | 13 (72.2) | Â |
Nonoverexpression (n = 34) | 28 (82.4) | 6 (17.6) | 0.0001 |
Snail mRNA | Â | Â | Â |
Overexpression (n = 12) | 7 (58.3) | 5(41.7) | Â |
Nonoverexpression (n = 40) | 26 (65) | 14(35) | 0.9993 |
