Knockdown of WISP1/DKK1 Restrains Phenotypic Plasticity in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Suppressing Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition and Stemness

Genes differentially expressed in esophageal carcinoma were analyzed in the GEO database, followed by analyses of GO and KEGG enrichment to screen the hub gene. WISP1 expression and DKK1 secretion was assessed in ESCC tissues and cells.
