EMT is induced by irradiation and suppressed by MLKL deletion. Expression levels of EMT related genes analyzed by qRT-PCR in CNE-2, CR, CR-MLKL KO. Results are expressed as means ± SD. Statistical analysis was carried out with Student’s t‐test. *, significant difference compared with CNE-2 (P<0.05). EMT, epithelial-mesenchymal transition; MLKL, mixed lineage kinase like.
