CCL18 mediated effects on FaDu cells. SCCHN FaDu cells were treated by rhCCL18 for 3 days and then subjected to the following assays. a, b Migratory changes were examined by wound healing assays and quantified. c, d Invasive ability was assayed by Transwell chamber assays and quantified. e, f mRNA and proteins associated with EMT were leveled by qPCR and western blotting assays. g mRNAs of CSCs markers CD133 and ALDH1 were quantified by qPCR. **P <0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001
