FIGURE 8.
Impact of resveratrol or/and ASO against β1-integrin or against NF-κB on TME-promoted activation of EMT-linked biomarkers in CRC cells. 3D-alginate RKO (A) and HCT116 (B) CRC cells were detected against E-cadherin, vimentin, slug and loading controlled with β-actin after 10–14 days of treatment. X-axis: untreated (Ba.Co.), TME control, resveratrol (1, 5 µM), β1-SO/ASO (0.5 µM), NF-κB-SO/ASO (0.5 µM) or combination of 0.5 µM SO/ASO and resveratrol (5 µM). Y-axis: Densitometric units (y-axis) complementing Western blot results and for analysis, data were compared to TME control: *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 were considered statistically significant.
