Figure 2. Expression of epithelial and mesenchymal markers in HeLa cells and patient samples. (A) Knockdown of AEG-1 led to reduction of mesenchymal markers in HeLa cells. (B) Expression of E-cadherin was increased in patient specimens where the level of AEG-1 was lower. In contrast, AEG-1 was increased in the surgical specimens (p5, p8, p9), where the level of E-cadherin was lower (p7, p10).
