Silencing of E-cadherin enhanced apoptosis and sub G1 population induced by gallotannin in Hep G2 cells. One day after transfection with control vector or E-cadherin siRNA plasmid, gallotannin (4 μM) was treated in Hep G2 cells for 48 h. (A) Effect of gallotannin on E-cadherin, PARP and pro-caspase 3 in Hep G2 cells transfected by control vector or E-cadherin siRNA plasmid. (B) Effect of gallotannin on sub G1 population in Hep G2 cells transfected by control vector or E-cadherin siRNA plasmid by FACS analysis. Bar graphs showing the percentages of sub-G1 DNA contents undergoing apoptosis. (C) Effect of gallotannin on the adhesion to Matrigel coated plate in Hep G2 cells transfected by control vector or E-cadherin siRNA plasmid ***, p < 0.001, vs untreated control. ###, p < 0.001, vs gallotannin treated group.
