Effect of curcumin on E-cadherin, vimentin and TWIST1 proteins in MPC5 cells. (A) EMT-induced MPC5 cells were established and cultured in curcumin with or with fumonisin B1 or 3BDO. The levels of E-cadherin, vimentin and TWIST1 protein from MPC5 cells were detected by Western blot and normalized to β-actin and then (B–D) relative band intensities were used in order to quantify E-cadherin, vimentin and TWIST1 protein. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs. the normal group, ^##p < 0.05, ^##p < 0.01 vs. the model group.
