Overexpression of Slug is associated with malignant progression of esophageal adenocarcinoma

Figure 5 Overexpression of Slug in the esophageal adenocarcinoma derived cell line OE33. Cell line OE33 was transiently transfected with either full length human Slug-GFP vector (OE33 Slug-GFP) or with the control empty GFP vector (OE33 empty). 24 h post transfection, (A) Slug mRNA and (B) GFP protein expression was determined. CK-19 was used as an epithelial control. ^aP < 0.05 using Student's t test.
