ITLN1 expression in primary mesothelial cells is dramatically reduced following an epithelial to mesenchymal transition. a qRT-PCR for ITLN1 in mesothelial cells ± TGFβ1 and in a human adipocyte cell line (SGBS) before (D0) and after differentiation (D14) (n = 6 per group). b qRT-PCR for the adipocyte specific gene PLIN1 in mesothelial cells ± TGFβ1 and in a human adipocyte cell line (SGBS) before (D0) and after differentiation (D14)(n = 6 per group). c Expression of the epithelial cell marker CDH-1 and the mesenchymal cell markers VMAC, SNAI1, and SNAI2 before and after treatment of mesothelial cells with TGFβ1 (n = 6 per group)
