Changes in EMT marker expression in cancer cells following treatment with peritoneal fluid (PF) collected after intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT). A. qPCR was used to measure the expression levels of EMT-related genes encoding mesenchymal markers (vimentin, snail, and N-cadherin) and epithelial markers (E-cadherin). B. Western blotting analysis of the expression of indicated EMT markers. RNA and protein were extracted from cells after 4 days of treatment. Used PF were from IORT (P1, P43, P56, and P64) and no IORT (P26, P42, P45, and P62). The results were statistically analysed using the unpaired t-test, and significance was marked at *: p < 0.05 and **: p < 0.01 using three independent biological replicates
