HNF-1β upregulated expression of Notch signalling-related genes in PLC/RF5 HCC cells. (A,B) The activation of NOTCH1 and HES1 in HCC cells was detected by RT-PCR and western blotting analysis. (C,D) The inhibition of the Notch pathway by DAPT or shRNA was confirmed using RT-PCR and western blotting. (E,F) RT-PCR and western blotting were used to determine the expression of CK7, CK19, SOX9 and CD133 after treatment with DAPT or Notch1 shRNA in HNF-1β-overexpressed HCC cells. (G,H) The expression of EMT markers was detected by RT-PCR and western blotting. (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001) Mean ± S.E.M. OE: HNF-1β overexpression. sh-Ctrl: negative control shRNA. sh-Notch1: Notch1 shRNA.
