Fig. 4. β-Catenin overexpression attenuates the triptolide-induced inhibitory effect on NCI-H1299 and NCI-H460 cells.

a, b β-Catenin vector transfection increased β-catenin expression, as detected by Western blotting and RT-qPCR assays. c, d The effects of β-catenin overexpression on the triptolide-mediated inhibitory effect on the migration and invasion of NCI-H1299 and NCI-H460 cells. NCI-H1299 and NCI-H460 cells were transfected with NC vector or β-catenin vector and then subjected to Transwell migration assays (c) and invasion assays (d). The images were taken at ×100 magnification. e, f The effect of triptolide on EMT in NCI-H1299 and NCI-H460 cells was weakened by β-catenin overexpression. After transfection, the cells were collected and used for Western blotting and RT-qPCR assays. The results of Western blotting and RT-qPCR assays are shown in e and f, respectively. TPL triptolide. The data are presented as the mean ± SEM, n = 3. ***P < 0.001 compared with the vector group, ###P < 0.001 vs. the β-catenin vector group.
