From: Epithelial to mesenchymal transition induces stem cell like phenotype in renal cell carcinoma cells
EMT induced cells are more invasive and have high colony forming ability. a Transwell invasion assay. 1 × 105 cells were seeded on Matrigel coated inserts. Cells invaded to lower chamber in the absence or presence of CsA or TGF-β were fixed, stained and photographed under bright field microscope (Leica). Magnification—×20. The data is represented graphical alongside. b EMT induced cells show higher colony forming ability. Both CsA treated and TGF-β treated cells formed more colonies in comparison to untreated cells. The average number of colonies are shown graphically
