FGFR2 suppresses the HIF-mediated EMT in prostate cancer cells. DU145 cells were co-transfected with si-FGFR2 (a,c) or FGFR2-FLAG (b,d) with si-HIF-1α and si-HIF-2α, and incubated under normoxic or hypoxic conditions for 24 hours. Cells were subjected to immunoblotting with the indicated antibodies and the blots were quantified by densitometry measurements with ImageJ (right panels). The mRNA levels of CDH1 and TWIST or SNAI2 were quantified by RT-qPCR. All experiments were performed three times and results are expressed as bars representing the means + SD. * and ** denotes p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 between the indicated groups, respectively.
