Decreased expression of miR-200 s and high target gene expression promote the activation of NFs to form CAFs. (ad) Western blot analysis of α-SMA and FAP expression in the indicated engineered CAFs or NFs. β-Actin was used as a loading control. (e) Transwell chamber analysis of the invasion of CAFs transfected with miR-200 s vectors or of NFs transfected with shRNAs targeting the miR-200 s. The data are presented as the mean±S.D. (n=3; *P<0.05, ANOVA followed by the Student–Newman–Keuls test). (f) Transwell chamber analysis of the invasion of CAFs transfected with shRNAs targeting Fli-1 or TCF12 and of NFs transfected with Fli-1 or TCF12 vectors. The data are presented as the mean±S.D. (n=3; *P<0.05, Student's t-test)
