Figure 9. TGF-β1 acts through miR-140-5p to up-regulate FEN1 in promoting EMT. (A and B) Western blot analysis showing the effect of silenced FEN1 on EMT repression induced by TGF-β1. (C and D) Western blot analysis of the effect of miR-140-5p on the expression of established EMT markers and FEN1 in HCC cells after treatment with TGF-β1.
