Figure Lengend Snippet: DCA and LTA promote hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation and migration by regulating the TGR5 and TLR2 pathways in RAW264.7 cells. (A–G) The gene expression of N-cadherin, Cdkn1a, Cdkn2a, TLR2, TGR5, and E-cadherin in co-cultured hepa1-6 cells. (H–O) Representative Western blot pictures and quantified data of E-cadherin,TLR2, TGR5, p-NF-Κb, GPC3, 53BP1, TLR2, TGR5 in co-cultured hepa1-6 cell, β-actin is an internal parameter., n = 3. (P,Q) Representative pictures and quantified data of migration of co-cultured hepa1-6 cells. (R,S) Representative pictures and quantified data of invasion of co-cultured hepa1-6 cells, Data are presented as means ± SD. ∗P < 0.05∗∗P < 0.01 ∗∗∗P < 0.001.
