Figure 1From: PKCα-induced drug resistance in pancreatic cancer cells is associated with transforming growth factor-β1The effects of TGF-β1 on the cellular morphology in BxPC3 cells. Cells transfected with TGF-β1 plasmid take on a long spindle shape with less cell-to-cell contact than the untreated group or the mock group. Cells in the latter two groups are oval or blunt shape with close cell contact.Back to article page
