Figure 5. FAM83A facilitated NSCLC cell EMT progression. (AD) Protein levels of FAM83A, Vimentin, E-cadherin, Snail, and Twist were detected by Western blot in stable H1299-LV-shRNA-NC, H1299-LV-shFAM83A-1, A549-LV-NC and A549-LV-FAM83A cells. β-actin was used as a loading control. (EF) Immunofluorescence of Vimentin and E-cadherin in A549 and H1299 cells after manipulation of FAM83A expression. The nucleus was counterstained with DAPI. The fourth panel of each shows the merged image of the previous panels. Scale bar, 100 μm. Error bars: mean ± SD (n=3). NS, no significant, *p<0.05, **p<0.01, and ***p<0.001 were considered to indicate a statistically significant difference.
