Fig. 8From: HOXC6 gene silencing inhibits epithelial-mesenchymal transition and cell viability through the TGF-β/smad signaling pathway in cervical carcinoma cellsHOXC6 gene silencing inhibits EMT and proliferative ability of CC cells by suppressing the activation of the TGF-β/smad signaling pathway. a Protein expression of HOXC6, TGF-β1, TGF-β RII, smad4, smad7, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and Vimentin determined by western blot analysis; b cell proliferation in each group after transduction; c cell cycle in each group after transduction; d cell apoptosis in each group after transduction; *p < 0.05, compared with the HOXC6-siRNA + HA-NC group; #p < 0.05, compared with the HA-HOXC6 + si-NC group; HOXC6, homeobox C6; EMT, epithelial-mesenchymal transition; CC cervical carcinoma, TGF-β transforming growth factor-β, smad solvated metal atom dispersion, NC negative controlBack to article page
