Figure Lengend Snippet: Knockdown of TRIM33 upregulated TGF-β expression. (A) ELISA analysis of TGF-β expression in the si-TRIM33 and control groups identified that knockdown of TRIM33 upregulated TGF-β expression, suggesting activation of the TGF-β signaling pathway. (B&C) Western blot analysis of the expression of proteins in the TGF-β signaling pathway in control, si-NC, and si-TRIM33 cells. Expression of p-Smad2 (Ser465/467), Smad2, Smad3, Smad4, vimentin, and N-Cadherin was upregulated, and E-Cadherin expression was downregulated, in si-TRIM33 cells. * P < .05, ** P < .01.
