To further analyze whether in vivo administration of TAX indeed inhibited EMT and induced apoptosis, we detected a series of molecules related to EMT including N-cadherin, E-cadherin, Snail1, Snail2, MMP-2/3/9 and apoptosis-related markers such as Bax, Caspase-9, Bcl-2, Cyt-c and PARP1 in tumor by RT-qPCR and western blot. Here, MMP2 is linked to neoplasm.
