VitD restores EVE sensitivity in HCC EveR cells. (A) VitD treatment induces inhibition of colony formation (surviving fraction) in PLC/PRF/5 EveR cells after 24 hrs of pre-treatment and 21 days of co-treatment with EVE. The data presented are mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. ****p < 0.0001 EVE 10−8 M + VitD 10−7 M vs control, ****p < 0.0001 EVE 10−8 M + VitD 10−7 M vs VitD 10−7 M, ****p < 0.0001 EVE 10−8 M + VitD 10−7 M vs EVE 10−8 M. VitD restores EMT markers expression in HCC EveR cells. E-cadherin (B,C) and cytokeratin 18 (C) expression in PLC/PRF/5 EveR and JHH-6 EveR cells after 6 days of VitD treatment. In IF staining: blu represents DAPI staining of the nuclei; red represents TRITC staining of vimentin protein; green represents FITC staining of E-cadherin protein. All the pictures were captured at 40X magnification.
