Overexpression of SEMA3C causes an upregulation of EMT markers. Expression levels of a panel of EMT markers were compared between SEMA3C-overexpressing RWPE-1 cells (RWPE-1-SEMA3C) and control cells (RWPE-1-FUGWBW). Significant upregulation of N-cadherin, ZEB2, ZEB1, fibronectin, vimentin, and downregulation of E-cadherin was observed in RWPE-1-SEMA3C compared to control RWPE-1-FUGWBW as shown by qPCR. (a) Data represent mean, ± SD; ***p < 0.001 comparing RWPE-1-SEMA3C to RWPE-1-FUGWBW cells. These findings were verified by Western blot analysis; (b) Western blot band intensity was quantitated by densitometry (b, right); ‘F’ = FUGWBW, ‘S’ = SEMA3C.
