From: Reduced graphene oxide triggered epithelial-mesenchymal transition in A549 cells

Western blotting of E-cadherin, β-catenin and Vimentin. A549 cells were treated with rGO 1, 5, 10 or 20 μg/ml for 48 or 72 hours and protein samples were evaluated to Western blotting assay. (A) Representative blots of E-cadherin, β-catenin and Vimentin in A549 cells. The grouping of blots images was from different parts of the same gel. The gels were cropped for conciseness. All gels were run simultaneouslyunder the same experimental conditions. Arrows show locations of molecular weight markers. (B)Bar graphs showing the relative levels of protein E-cadherin, β-catenin and Vimentin in A549 cells. Data are shown as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05 by one-way analysis of variance.
