a, b SW1783 and LN229 cells were cotransfected with pCNA3.1-FoxM1 and sh-ADAM17 plasmids, and then determined the capacities of migration, adipogenesis and osteogenesis. Scale bar = 100 μm. The data are shown as the mean ± s.d. of three independent experiments. Student’s t test was used to determine the significance of the differences between the groups (**P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, Student’s t test). c The effects of FoxM1 overexpression combined with ADAM17 knockdown on mesenchymal transition were investigated by western blot in SW1783 and LN229 cells. d, e The capacities of migration, adipogenesis and osteogenesis were determined after knocking down FoxM1 and overexpressing ADAM17 in U251MG and U87MG cells. Scale bar = 100 μm. Data are shown as the mean ± s.d. of three independent experiments. Student’s t test was used to determine the significance of the differences between the groups (**P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, Student’s t test). f The effects of FoxM1 knockdown combined with ADAM17 overexpression on mesenchymal phenotype were investigated by western blot in U251MG and U87MG cells
