FAD104 overexpression attenuates TGF-β–mediated EMT in HeLa cells. (A) The effect of FAD104 overexpression on the expression level of EMT-related genes. HeLa cells were infected with FAD104 or LacZ, and treated with 1 ng/mL TGF-β1 for 72 h. Whole-cell lysates were subjected to Western blot analysis and β-actin was used as a loading control. Signal intensities of the proteins were quantified using NIH-Image software. Each column represents the mean with standard deviation (n = 3). Significant differences are indicated as **p < 0.01. (B) Flag-tagged FAD104 expression plasmid was introduced into HeLa cells. After transfection, the cells were treated with 5 ng/mL TGF-β1 for 72 h. The signals of F-actin (red) and Flag-tagged FAD104 (green) were detected with fluorescence microscopy. Arrow indicates the cells expressing Flag-tagged FAD104. Arrowheads indicate untransfected cells as Flag signal is not detected.
