Peritoneal metastatic gastric carcinoma cells exhibit more malignant behavior when co-cultured with HMrSV5 cells

Figure 3. Metastatic gastric cancer cells were more invasive than primary gastric cancer cells in vitro. (A, B) NUGC-4, NUGC-4^per, NUGC-4^liver and NUGC-4^lym cells were incubated for 48 h, and their migration was investigated by a Transwell assay. (C, D) A Transwell assay was used to investigate the invasion of NUGC-4, NUGC-4^per, NUGC-4^liver and NUGC-4^lym cells. (E–G) The relative levels of p-Smad2 and p-Smad3 in metastatic or primary gastric cancer cells were detected by western blotting. (H) The levels of TGF-β in supernatants of metastatic or primary gastric cancer cells were detected by ELISA. ^*P<0.05, ^**P<0.01 compared to the control group.
