Overexpression of PinX1 suppresses cell EMT process in nasopharyngeal CD133⁺ CSCs. a The mRNA expressions of E-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail1, Twist1, and Zeb1 in nasopharyngeal CD133⁺ CSCs and cells transfected with empty vector and pcDNA3.0-PinX1 as determined by RT-qPCR. b The protein levels of E-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail1, Twist1, and Zeb1 in nasopharyngeal CD133⁺ CSCs and cells transfected with empty vector and pcDNA3.0-PinX1 as determined by Western blot. The grey value of the protein was normalized to that of the corresponding GAPDH. ** p < 0.01 vs. control, *** p < 0.001 vs. control
