Figure 5From: The role of hepatocyte nuclear factor 4alpha in metastatic tumor formation of hepatocellular carcinoma and its close relationship with the mesenchymal–epithelial transition markers HNF4alpha regulated the expression of E-cadherin in HCC cells. The SK-Hep-1 cells were transfected with HNF4alpha-expression plasmid. As the expression of HNF4alpha increased, the expression of E-cadherin correspondingly increased. A) Transient transfection. B) Stable transfection.Back to article page
