Fig. 1

C3a synergized with TGF-β to promote EMT. A Western blot of C3aR of TCMK-1 cells induced by TGF-β, C3a, and C3a combined with TGF-β. B Quantitative analysis of C3aR. C Immunofluorescent staining of α-SMA of TCMK-1 cells induced by TGF-β, C3a, and C3a combined with TGF-β. D α-SMA-positive area. E Immunofluorescent staining of ZO-1 of TCMK-1 cells induced by TGF-β, C3a, and C3a combined with TGF-β. F ZO-1-positive area. Scale bar:50 μm.**P < 0.01;NS, No significance
