Abstract: Objective  To explore the effect and mechanism of tumor-associated macrophages on  human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. Methods  The HCC cells were cocultured with macrophages from PMA-treated THP-1 cells and cell migration was detected by transwell migration test and wound-healing assay. The expressions of E-cadherin and N-cadherin were measured by RT-PCR. Results  The ability of cell migration was significantly increased after being cocultured with mocrophages from PMA-treated THP-1 cells. A transition from epithelial morphology to mesenchymal morphology was observed. The expression of E-cadherin decreased and the expression of N-cadherin increased. Conclusion  Our findings suggest that tumor-associated macrophages may promote the cell migration through epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
