FGF9 promoted EMT in LLC cells. Western blot analysis and quantification of protein expression of EMT related proteins: E-cadherin, β-Catenin, ZO-1, N-cadherin, vimentin, Snail, MMP2, MMP3, MMP9, and MMP13 in LLC cells treated with 0 (Control) or 50 ng/ml FGF9 for 0.25, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h, respectively, are illustrated. Quantification values are represented as the mean ± SEM; n=3. The data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA with Sidak's multiple comparisons post-tests. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, and ***p<0.001 vs. the Control group at each time point.
