NETs-associated cathepsin G regulates the expression of E-cadherin in HCC cells in vitro. (A, B) Western blot analysis of E-cadherin and CXCL8/IL-8 level in HuH7 cells treated with NETs-CM. Cells were stimulated with NETs-CM for 20 hours. Experiment was repeated three times. (C) HuH7 (5x105 cells) were co-cultivated with NETs-CM or cultivated alone to confluence for 20 hours, and the area depleted of tumor cells was quantified as percentage of the total area. Representative images were shown. Scare bar: 100µm. (D) E-cadherin expression of HuH7 cells layer was shown by immunofluorescence staining. Representative images were shown. Scare bar: 100um. Experiment was repeated three times.
