Figure Lengend Snippet: WNT7B inhibited epithelial to mesenchymal transition in OSCC cells. ( A - D ) Wound-healing assay, the migration and invasion assay analyses of changes in migratory capacity as WNT7B was knockdown in HN6/HN30 cells. Bars, 500 μm. ( E - H ) Western blot analysis detecting epithelial to mesenchymal transition marker E-cadherin protein levels increased and N-cadherin protein levels decreased in HN6/HN30 cells after WNT7B knockdown. GAPDH served as a normalization control for WB. Error bars, mean ± SD; n = 3 independent experiments; error bars, mean ± SD; * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001; t-test
