Cyclopamine treatment in mouse primary culture of the gastric epithelial cells. (A) In mice as well as in humans, not only Hh-downstream targets (Gli1 and Gli2) but also EMT regulators (Sip1, Snai2, and Twist2) are downregulated by cyclopamine treatment. (B) Quantitative real-time RT–PCR analyses show the same results of the above conventional RT–PCR. Results were calculated as mean+s.d. values from triplicate measurements of three separate experiments. (C) Other mesenchymal-related genes (Cdh2, Pdgfrb, Ednra, Robo1, Wnt5a, Ror2, Mef2c, and Smtn) are also downregulated by cyclopamine treatment. As a control, Actb is shown in Figure 5A.
