Supplementary Material
Additional file 1: The expression of CSC-related markers in the cell lines HCCLM3, MHCC97H, HepG2, SMMC7721, Hep3B, and Huh7 was examined by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence.
Additional file 2: Tumor cells that were pretreated with SYY for 4 weeks showed reduced expression of CSC-related markers compared with parental cell lines by flow cytometric analysis.
Additional file 3: The transwell assay demonstrated that MHCC97H-SYY and Hep3B-SYY cells migrated through the basement membrane less efficiently than the parental cell lines MHCC97H and Hep3B.
Additional file 4: Colony formation assay showed that MHCC97H-SYY and Hep3B-SYY cells had a significantly lower proliferation rate and colony forming ability than the corresponding parental cells.
Additional file 5: MHCC97H-SYY cell lines showed diminished subcutaneous tumor growth capacity and decreased pulmonary metastasis compared with parental cells in the nude mouse models.
