Figure 2

Dual staining for E-cadherin (upper panels) and actin (lower panels) of LM38-LP, LM38-HP, and LM38-D2 cells (left, middle, and right panels, respectively). Whereas islets of epithelial cells showed evident E-cadherin staining of membranes, neither myoepithelial cells (in LM38-LP or LM38-D2 cultures) nor LM38-HP epithelioid cells did so. Actin was distributed cortically in the islets of epithelial cells, formed long stress fibres in the myoepithelial cells, and showed poor cortical distribution and the simultaneous presence of stress fibers in the spindle-shaped LM38-HP cell line.
