VCAM1 plays a positive role in the progression of TEM in CRC cells. (A) TCGA (n = 229) enrichment analysis was adopted to analyze the VCAM1-related signatures. (B) Evaluation of CRC cell adhesive activity by tumor-endothelial cell adhesion assay in cells with VCAM1 upregulation (above) and downregulation (below). Red: tumor cells, green: HUVECs. Histogram analysis of the numbers of adherent cells (right). Scale bars: 50 μm. (C) Detection of TEM activity by transendothelial migration assay in the indicated cells (red). Scale bars: 50 μm. Histogram analysis of the numbers of transendothelial migrate cells (right). Error bars represent the mean ± SD from three independent experiments. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
