PADI4 was involved in the process of EMT. (A) Knockdown of PADI4 increased the expression of epithelial makers (E-cadherin) and reduced the expression of mesenchymal markers (N-cadherin and vimentin). (B) The statistical chart represents the relative protein expression levels. (C) Knockdown of PADI4 reduced the EMT-associated Snail1/Smad3/4 transcriptional factors compared with the control group. (D) The statistical analysis represents the relative protein expression levels. Differences among groups were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance, followed by Bonferroni's multiple comparison test. *P<0.05 or **P<0.01 vs. control, n=3. N, neural; E, epithelial; EMT, epithelial-mesenchymal transition; PADI4, protein-arginine deiminase type-4; Smad, mothers against decapentaplegic homolog; Ctrl, control; NC, negative control.
