Fig. 4From: ECM1 promotes migration and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma by inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition a Changes of ECM1 and EMT-related protein (E-cadherin and Vimentin) expression in Bel-7402 cells were detected by Western blot after ECM1 transfection. The increased expression of ECM1 could lead to the up-regulated expression of Vimentin protein and down-regulated expression of E-cadherin protein in Bel-7402 cells. b The relative quantity of three protein expressed levels in cells with significant difference (ECM1: t = 12.909, P < 0.01; Vimentin; t = 10.564, P < 0.01; E-cadherin: t = −8.558, P = 0.002). Relative quantity of three protein expressed levels in cells. Data are mean ± SD of three replicates. (P < 0.05)Back to article page
