Figure 5. (A and B) The transwell invasion process is measured by the number of cells after 24 h of treatment (^**P < 0.01, ^***P < 0.001 vs. control group); (C and D) Protein expressions of MMP-2/9, N-cadherin, and Vimentin were analyzed using WB. Data are represented as mean ± SD (^*P < 0.05, ^**P < 0.01, ^***P < 0.001, ^****P < 0.0001 vs. control group vs. control group); (E) Expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 RNA was detected using RT-qPCR (^*P < 0.05, ^**P < 0.01, ^***P < 0.001 vs. control group). MMP-2/9: Matrix metalloproteinase 2/9; WB: Western blot; RT-qPCR: reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction.
