Fig. 8. HHT repressed β-catenin and EMT-related molecules through EphB4 suppression.
a Protein expression of β-catenin, p-β-catenin, E-cadherin, Snail, MMP2, and MMP9 in HepG2 cells treated with either: HHT (20 nM), NVP-BHG-712 (1 μM), or the combination of both. b Protein expression of EphB4, β-catenin, p-β-catenin, E-cadherin, Snail, MMP2, and MMP9 in HepG2 cells treated with HHT (20 nM) for the indicated duration. c Protein expression of EphB4, E-cadherin, Snail, MMP2, and MMP9 in HepG2 cells treated with either: vehicle, TGF-β, TGF-β + HHT, TGF-β + NVP-BHG712, or TGF-β + HHT + NVP-BHG712. d Schematic diagram of HHT inhibited the migration of HCC.
