Figure 3From: Toll-like receptor 4 signaling promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition in human hepatocellular carcinoma induced by lipopolysaccharide TLR4 expression in different HCC cells lines. (A) qPCR was used to detected TLR4 mRNA expression in HepG2, Huh7, Hep3B and SMMC-7721 cells (*P < 0.05). (B) FACS analysis for TLR4 protein in HCC cell lines untreated or treated with LPS (10 μg/ml) for 48 hours. The data shown in A and B are from one representative experiment of three performed. HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; TLR4, toll-like receptor 4.Back to article page
