TGF-β1-mediated EMT modulates migratory ability of HCC cells. (A) Morphology changes in Hep3B and PLC/PRF/5 cells during EMT and MET (scale bar = 500 µm, magnification 10X). (B) Transwell migration assay revealed increased motility of Hep3B and PLC/PRF/5 cells upon TGF-β1-induced EMT and decreased motility following MET (scale bar = 500 µm, magnification 10X). (C) The wound healing assay demonstrated that the migratory ability is increased upon EMT and decreased following MET in Hep3B and PLC/PRF/5 cells (scale bar = 500 µm, magnification 10X).
