(A, B) Representative SEM images of non-stimulated and stimulated SW982 cells; (CE) Representative CLSM images showing immunofluorescence staining for fibroblast specific protein (FSP: green), cadherin–11 (Cad–11: green) and CD44 (green) in non-stimulated SW982 cells (FH) Corresponding images for stimulated SW982 cells. All cells were counterstained with DAPI for nuclei visualization (blue) (Scale bar: 20 μm); (I) Quantification of the aspect ratio of non-stimulated and stimulated SW982 cells; (JL) Quantitative fluorescence intensity analysis of FSP, Cad-11 and CD44 in non-stimulated and stimulated SW982 cells (n = 3; Student’s t–test, *p < 0.05).
