EVTs are responsive to external stimulus TGFβ and undergo EMT. (A) 344SQ_EVTs are cultured in Matrigel for 7 days and treated with TGFβ (5 ng/ml) on day 3 (scale bar is 200 µM). In response to TGFβ, EVTs (B) hyper proliferate and (C) are more invasive. For each condition, 1000 structures were measured in size and scored for invasiveness. (D) Quantitative RT–PCR of indicated markers, shown as fold change upon TGFβ treatment. (E) Taqman RT–PCR assay of individual miR-200 members for EVTs in Matrigel and following TGFβ treatment. ***p < 0.0001. (F) Western blot analysis for EMT markers in Matrigel with or without TGFβ treatment.
