Leptin regulates the expression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition markers in A549 cells (n=6). The protein expression of (A) epithelial markers E-cadherin and Keratin and the (C) mesenchymal markers, Fibronectin and Vimentin were measured by western blot analysis after A549 cells were treated with TGF-β1 or leptin for 48 h. (B) Relative content of E-cadherin and Keratin and (D) Fibronectin and Vimentin was calculated against β-actin. Values are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean. #P<0.05, ##P<0.01 vs. the control group.
