Western blot analysis of E-cadherin and vimentin in 2D and 3D cultured colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRAC) cells. E-cadherin and vimentin expressions were compared between CARC cell lines cultured under 2D and 3D conditions. E-cadherin was prominently expressed in DLD-1, CACO-2, HCT-15, and SW 480 cell lines, with enhanced expression observed under 3D culture conditions. In contrast, vimentin was expressed in 2D cultured SW480 and in both 2D and 3D cultured COLO-320 cells. β-actin was used as an internal control.
