EMT was promoted after IGF-1 treatment at 24 h in si-FERMT1-transfected Tca8113 and SCC15 cells. OSCC cells were treated with 5 ng/ml recombinant human TGF-β1 protein. (A, B) The mRNA expression (A) and protein levels (B) of mesenchymal biomarkers including vimentin, N-cadherin, and MMP-9 and epithelial biomarkers including E-cadherin were measured by qRT-PCR and western blotting. (C) The representative image of western blot. ***P < 0.001, si-FERMT1 + IGF-1 vs si-FERMT1 + PBS
