TCS regulates mRNA and protein expression of epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) factors in CT26 cells. (A) Real-time qRT-PCR was performed to analyze the mRNA expression levels of EMT markers after treatment of TCS (0.25, 0.5, and 1 μM) on CT26 cells for 48 h. Data are the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. *
p < 0.05. (B) The protein levels of EMT markers including E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin, snail, and twist were confirmed by a Western blotting analysis. (C) Quantification was conducted via Image J. Data are the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. *
p < 0.05.
