Figure 7 Effects of transforming growth factor-β1 on epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related protein expression in HepG2 and PLC cells.
A: Influence of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related protein expression in HepG2 cells detected by western blotting; B-D: TGF-β1 significantly upregulated expression of N-cadherin and vimentin, and downregulated E-cadherin expression in HepG2 cells; E: Influence of TGF-β1 on EMT-related protein expression in PLC cells detected by western blotting; F-H: TGF-β1 induced consistent changes in expression of the aforementioned EMT-related proteins in PLC cells. dP < 0.0001. TGF-β1: Transforming growth factor-β1.
