Popis: Zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) and ZEB2 in the ZEB1/2 isoform complex are known to play an important role in the progression, invasion, and metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC). In cancer cells, ZEB1 regulates the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). This study aimed to identify the ZEB1 expression in CRC and its correlation with clinicopathological and metastatic status. Using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), we compared different ZEB1 expressions in fresh-frozen tissue from non-tumor tissue (NT), primary tumor tissue without metastasis (PT), and primary tumor tissue with liver metastasis (PTLM). The correlation between ZEB1 expression and clinicopathological characteristics was also investigated. Statistical analysis revealed that ZEB1 expression is significantly higher in the primary tumor tissues (PT and PTLM) than in NT (p
