Induction of the EMT in HK-2 cells by incubation with oxalate+COM. (a) Morphology of HK-2 cells incubated for 48 h without (control) or with oxalate+COM. (b) Western blotting of ZO-1, E-cadherin, vimentin, and N-cadherin in HK-2 cells incubated for 48 h without or with oxalate+COM. (c) Migration of HK-2 cells incubated for 48 h without or with oxalate+COM. These results were representative of at least three independent experiments. Results were considered statistically significant (, , and vs. the control group).
