GATA4 facilitates epithelial-mesenchymal transition in nasopharyngeal cancer cells. 5-8F cells were transfected with an empty vector, FLAG-GATA4, SCR or siGATA4. (A) Western blotting was used to detect the protein levels and (B) reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis was used to detect and quantify the mRNA expression levels of E-cadherin, α-catenin, N-cadherin and vimentin. *P<0.05. FLAG-GATA4, vector overexpressing GATA4; si, small interfering RNA; SCR, scramble siRNA; siGATA4, siRNA against GATA4.
