Differential gene expressions of the chemoresistant MX-1 cell sublines. (A–D) Results from quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis showing the comparative mRNA expression of Epithelial–mesenchymal transition related genes in the parental MX-1 and chemoresistant cells, cultured with increasing concentrations (10 nM, 20 nM, 40 nM and 80 nM) of doxorubicin (MX-1/D), ABCB1 transporter activator TPP+ (MX-1/T) or both (MX-1/TD). (E) Western blot analysis of the protein expression of CDH1 and CDH2 in MX-1 and MX-1/D80 cells. (F–H) Relative expression level of cancer stem cells related genes. The graphs show the mean (± SEM) ratio of the indicated gene expression compared to endogenous control HPRT1 expression. Indicated P values were calculated based on paired t-tests.
