From: Role of MMP-9 in epithelial-mesenchymal transition of thyroid cancer
Effects of MMP-9 on the expression level of EMT-related proteins in TC cells. The protein levels (a, b) and mRNA levels (c, d) of epithelial cell marker E-cadherin and stromal cell marker Vimentin in TC cell lines transfected with TGF-β1 MMP-9 shRNA, and TGF-β1 + MMP-9 shRNA. *Indicates P < 0.05, ** indicates P < 0.01, and *** indicates P < 0.001
