FIGURE 7.

Expression of EMT associated genes in metformin (20 mmol/L) treated cells in combination with MALAT1 knock‐down. (A) mRNA expression as accessed by qPCR (mean ± SEM of duplicate experiments). *P < .05 vs control. (B) Protein expression as measured by Western blot analysis. Grayscale analysis for Western blot could be seen in Figure S5. siNeg, cells treated with negative control siRNA; siMALAT1, cells treated with MALAT1 siRNA; siNeg+Met, cells treated with negative control siRNA in combination with metformin; siMALAT+Met, cells treated with MALAT1 siRNA in combination with metformin
