LGG improves radiation-induced lung EMT. a BEAS2B cells were divided into 3 groups, Control group (Con), 6 Gy radiation group (IR), treated with IR followed by LGG treatment group (LGG + IR). b Cell survival rate in Con and LGG groups post indicated dosage of radiation in A549 cells. c Cell survival rate in Con and LGG groups post indicated dosage of radiation in H1299 cells. d Representative photographs of cell apoptosis after LGG-treated in BEAS2B cells with or without 6 Gy treatment through flow cytometric assay. e Representative photographs of cell cycle after LGG-treated in BEAS2B cells with or without 6 Gy treatment through flow cytometric assay. f Representative blots of E-cadherin, VImentin and N-cadherin protein expression in LGG treated BEAs2B cells post 6 Gy radiation by Western blotting assay. Data are means ± SD (standard deviation). n = 3 independent experiments, Student’s two-tailed unpaired t test was used to compare differences between two groups. *p < 0.05
