The related protein expressions and cell migration and invasion. A, Western blot assays show that IL-6 induces p-STAT3 activation on the 2 cell lines, E-cadherin downexpressed, and vimentin, Twist upexpressed. And AG490 inhibit p-STAT3 activation on the 2 cell lines, E-cadherin upexpressed, and vimentin, Twist downexpressed. B and C, Transwell assays were performed in the cell lines to indicate that p-STAT3 activation could affect migration and invasion (magnification, ×100). B, The migration and invasion abilities of HCT116 and HT29 cells were increased following the induction of IL-6. C, The migration and invasion abilities of HCT116 and HT29 cells were decreased following AG490 treatment.
