miR-9 inhibitors inhibit TGF-β1-induced EMT. After transfection with miR-9 inhibitors for 24 h, the cells were treated with TGF-β1 (5 ng/ml) for 24 h. a – The expression levels of α-SMA and E-cadherin were detected using western blot. b – Cell invasion was detected using a Transwell assay. *p < 0.01 vs. control
