Fig. 2From: Down-regulation of STAT3 induces the apoptosis and G1 cell cycle arrest in esophageal carcinoma ECA109 cellsMorphological changes of ECA109 cells caused by STAT3 down-regulation. The pSi-STAT3 plasmid transfection induced apparent morphological changes like cell shrinkage, apoptotic vacuoles, membrane blebbing and forming the floating cells after transfection for 48 h and got worse after 72 h (original magnification, ×200)Back to article page
