Figure 5. Zeb1 regulates DKAT EMT/MET. A.

Total cell lysate was prepared from DKAT-MEGM or DKAT-SCGM cells and subjected to western blot analysis for markers of EMT. B. Total cell lysate was prepared from DKAT-MEGM cells stably transfected with a control vector (V) or vector containing Zeb1 transcript (Zeb1) and subjected to western blot analysis for markers of EMT. C. Scratch wound healing assay comparing DKAT cells grown in MEGM or SCGM as indicated, stably expressing either a non-targeting shRNA sequence or one of two Zeb1-targeting sequences. Results are expressed as the percentage of the scratch area closed at 16 hrs as measured by ImageJ software, and are an average of 12 scratches per sample.
