TGF-β1 derived from stromal fibroblasts promotes BLCA cell migration, invasion, and EMT. A, B A wound healing assay shows that CAF-CM and NF-CM significantly enhance the migration ability of T24 cells; TGF-β1 neutralizing antibody attenuates this pro-migration effect. C, D A transwell assay suggests that CAF-CM and NF-CM markedly improve the invasive ability of T24 cells; TGF-β1 neutralizing antibody effectively reduced this pro-invasion effect. qRT-PCR (E) and WB (F, G) show that CAF-CM and NF-CM induce EMT in BLCA cells by downregulating the expression of E-cadherin and upregulating the expression of N-cadherin and Vimentin. EG The TGF-β1 neutralizing antibody significantly attenuated these pro-EMT effects
