From: Nemopilema nomurai jellyfish venom exerts an anti-metastatic effect by inhibiting Smad- and NF-κB-mediated epithelial–mesenchymal transition in HepG2 cells

Figure 2

Nemopilema nomurai jellyfish venom (NnV) suppresses the expression of epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related markers and transcription factors. Cells were treated with NnV at different doses (A) for different periods (B). (C–H) Expression levels of EMT markers and regulators were quantified using ImageJ. (I) Cells were treated with NnV, followed by immunostaining for E-cadherin (green) and vimentin (red), and counterstaining with DAPI (blue). Data are presented as the mean ± SD from three fields. *p < 0.01 compared to the control.
