doi: 10.1515/biol-2022-1012
Figure Lengend Snippet: CEBPB alters the expression of the related proteins and the activation of NF-κB/STAT3 signaling pathway, IHC analysis of the protein expression of E-cadherin (a) and Ki67 (b) in the UCCRC tissues of mice. The scale bar is 50 μm and 100 μm. (c)–(g) Western blot analysis of the protein expression of Ki67, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and vimtein in the UCCRC tissues of mice. RT-qPCR analysis of the mRNA expression of Ki67 (h), E-cadherin (i), N-cadherin (j), and vimentin (k) in UCCRC tissues of mice. (l) Western blot analysis of p-STAT3 and NF-κB-p65 expression UCCRC tissues of mice. (m) Western blot analysis of p-STAT3 expression in SW480 cells treatment with PMA. After PMA or Colivelin TFA treats SW480 cells, clone formation, transwell, and scratch-wound assay were used to detect cell proliferation (n), invasion (o), and migration (p). N = 3, * P < 0.05. PMA, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate; the red arrows represent the pathological changes.
