Figure 6 shRNA against VE-cadherin inhibits vasculogenic mimicry formation and expression of vasculogenic mimicry-related genes in vitro. A: Effect of silencing VE-cadherin on the formation of VM in ESCCs (magnification × 400); B: Protein and mRNA expression of VE-cadherin and VM-related genes in esophageal squamous cancer cells. ESCC: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma; VM: Vasculogenic mimicry; VE-cad: VE-cadherin; LN5γ2: Laminin 5γ2; HIF: Hypoxia inducible factor; EphA2: EphrinA2.
