The expression of E-cadherin, MTA-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9 in BC, NC + MB, MB, Lipo, and MB + Lipo groups. (A) Relative mRNA expression of E-cadherin in each group. (B) Relative mRNA expression of MTA-1 in each group. (C) Relative mRNA expression of MMP-2 in each group. (D) Relative mRNA expression of MMP-9 in each group. (E) The results of Western blot in each group. (F) Relative protein expression of E-cadherin in each group. (G) Relative protein expression of MTA-1 in each group. (H) Relative protein expression of MMP-2 in each group. (I) Relative protein expression of MMP-9 in each group. Bars indicate means ±SD. ** P<0.01 and * P<0.05 vs. BC group; @@ P<0.01 and @ P<0.05 vs. NC + MB group; ## P<0.01 and # P<0.05 vs. MB or Lipo group.
