Loss of Ghrel in signaling activates EMT inducers in the thymus.
A, the 10-month-old control and GHSR knock-out mice thymi were
stained for N-cadherin (green) and FSP-1 (red). Nuclei were
counterstained with DAPI (blue). B, real-time-PCR analysis
of EMT genes, FSP1, vimentin, N-cadherin, and
FOXC2 in the thymus. Data are expressed as mean ± S.E. with
6–8 mice per group.
