TGF-β-induced change in EMT-related mRNA levels in human lung epithelial A549 cells. (A) Cells were stimulated with TGF-β (10 ng/mL) for 0–48 h. Total RNA was isolated and E-cadherin mRNA was determined using qRT-PCR. Results are presented as mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. (B) Cells were stimulated with TGF-β (10 ng/mL) for 0–48 h. Total RNA was isolated, and FN mRNA was determined through qRT-PCR. Data are presented as mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. * p < 0.05, compared with the control group without TGF-β treatment. (C) Cells were stimulated with TGF-β (10 ng/mL) for 0–48 h. Total RNA was isolated, and CTGF mRNA was determined through qRT-PCR. Results are presented as mean ± SEM of seven independent experiments.
