Figure 5. — ATL-III inhibits the invasion, migration and EMT process of IEC-6 cells induced by TGF-β1 by activating the AMPK signaling pathway. (A) Cell migration, as determined using a wound healing assay. (B) Cells invasion was detected using a Transwell assay. Magnification, ×100. Histograms of cell (C) migration and (D) invasion rates. (E) Expression levels of MMP9 and proteins associated with EMT, as detected via western blotting. (F) N-cadherin and (G) E-cadherin expression was detected using an immunofluorescence assay. Magnification, ×200. ***P<0.001 vs. control group; ^###P<0.001 vs. TGF-β1 group; △P<0.05, △△P<0.01 vs. TGF-β1 + ATL-III (20 µmol/l) group; n≥3. ATL-III, atractylenolide III; EMT, epithelial-mesenchymal transition; AMPK, AMP-activated protein kinase; ZO-1, zonula occludens-1.
