Acquisition of oxymatrine resistance induces EMT in CRC cells. (A) The HT29 oxymatrine-resistant cells induced specific morphologic changes consistent with EMT, such as spindle-shaped cells with loss of polarity, increased intercellular separation and pseudopodia (arrows). (B) A significant increased migratory and invasive capacity was observed in HT29 oxymatrine resistant cells compared with parental cells. (C) Western blot assay showed that the E-cadherin protein level was suppressed while vimentin protein level was upregulated in HT29 oxymatrine resistant cells. Error bars represent **P<0.01.
