HNRNPA2B1 improves cell viability, and its expression was associated with EMT markers in pancreatic cancer cell lines. The mRNA expression levels of HNRNPA2B1 and EMT representative markers (E-cadherin and N-cadherin) in Panc-1 and Patu-8988 pancreatic cancer cells are presented as a histogram (a); HNRNPA2B1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin were visualised by Western blotting (b); data represent the mean ± SEM, n = 3, *denotes P < 0.05 vs Patu-8988 groups. Fold change in cell viability of Patu-8988, PANC-1 and MIA Paca-2 cells (c); data represent the mean ± SEM, n = 3, *denotes P < 0.05 vs NC groups, **denotes P < 0.05 vs Patu-8988 cells, ***denotes P < 0.05 vs Panc-1 cells, ^#means P > 0.05 vs NC groups
