Fig 2. S100A6 overexpression alters the expression of β-catenin and EMT-related markers.

(A) Overexpression of S100A6 resulted in a significant increase in the level of β-catenin mRNA in Panc-1 cells. (B) Real-time PCR revealed that S100A6 overexpression resulted in decreased expression of E-cadherin, and increased expression of N-cadherin and vimentin. (C) Western blotting revealed that S100A6 upregulated β-catenin on the protein level. (D) Representative statistical chart showing increased β-catenin protein levels, compared to the control. (E) Western blotting revealed that S100A6 overexpression resulted in altered expression of EMT-related markers. Specifically, protein expression of E-cadherin was decreased, whereas expression of N-cadherin and vimentin was increased. (F) The relative protein levels of E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin differed significantly between the S100A6-overexpressing condition and the control. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
