Figure 1.
Acid adapted cells show partial EMT phenotype. (A) q-RT-PCR-analysis and (B) IF of EMT marker at RNA and protein level respectively show both markers of epithelial and mesenchymal phenotype are present in acid adapted cells confirming their transient EMT phenotype. (C) Analysis of RNA sequencing shows a mixed epithelial and mesenchymal markers. Heatmap plot for EMT related deferentially expressed genes in AA-MCF7 compared to MCF7. Each row represents a gene and each columns stands for a sample. Cells color is correlated to gene count in the corresponding sample. Color code for gene count: red, high expression; green, low expression.
