Effect of vacuole membrane protein 1 (Vmp1) on homogeneity adhesion (cell numbers) and heterogeneity adhesion (A ₅₇₀) of HCCLM3 cells (mean ± SD, n = 6)

Adhesion test	Time intervals
	60 min	90 min	120 min
Homogeneity adhesion
HCCLM3VMP1+	1225 ± 65	1625 ± 90	1875 ± 125
HCCLM3vector	855 ± 45	1315 ± 70	1508 ± 85
Heterogeneity adhesion
HCCLM3VMP1+	0.125 ± 0.032	0.152 ± 0.045	0.225 ± 0.082
HCCLM3vector	0.192 ± 0.040	0.275 ± 0.061	0.365 ± 0.102

Comparison of adhesion ability to homotypic cells or extracellular matrix components between HCCLM3^VMP1+ and HCCLM3^vector were made after the different time intervals. The HCCLM3^VMP1+ cells had significantly higher homogeneity adhesion and lower heterogeneity adhesion ability than HCCLM3^vector cells (P < 0.01).
