Effects of siRNA‐mediated knockdown of IRF5 and LMCD1 on TGF‐beta/OSM‐induced epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) in H358 cells. H358 cells were treated with each indicated siRNA (6 nmol/L) for 48 h and followed by induction of EMT using TGF‐beta/OSM for 3 days. Cells were then collected for follow‐up analysis. (A) Effects of siRNAs on EMT protein markers; (B) Effects of siRNAs on E‐cadherin low‐expressing subpopulation (labeled with anti‐E‐cadherin‐APC antibody); (C) Effects of siRNAs on TGF‐beta/OSM‐mediated invasiveness; (D) Effects of siRNAs on CD24 and CD44+ subpopulations (labeled with CD24‐PE and CD44‐APC antibodies). Note: *P < 0.05; **P < 0.001, as compared to the postEMT scramble‐siR control.
