Adiponectin promotes E-cadherin expression and downregulates vimentin expression in NSCLC cells. (A) Western blot analysis demonstrating the expression levels of E-cadherin and vimentin following incubation of cells with adiponectin. (A-D) Exogenous adiponectin promoted overexpression of E-cadherin and underexpression of vimentin in NSCLC cells as revealed by western blotting. GAPDH served as a loading control, *P<0.05, n=3 (each experiment). (E) Confocal microscopy images confirming the expression levels of E-cadherin and vimentin, n=3 (each experiment).
