Introduction
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is important in the metastasis of tumours and is triggered by several key growth factors, including platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGF-B). But, whether PDGF-B signalling promotes EMT in gastric carcinoma cells is still unknown.

Material and methods
We established 2 gastric carcinoma cell lines (MKN28 and MKN45) to stably overexpress PDGF-B by lentiviral vectors, and expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and ERK-1 were detected by western blot assay. Then, PDGF-B overexpression and normal MKN28 and MKN45 cells were cocultured with PDGFR-positive fibroblast (hs738) and MAPK inhibitors were added; also, the expressions of ERK-1, E-cadherin, and N-cadherin were detected by western blot assay.

Results
After being cocultured with hs738 cells, expressions of ERK-1 and N-cadherin protein in PDGF-B overexpression MKN28 and MKN45 cells were much higher than normal MKN28 and MKN45 cells (p < 0.05), and those could be decreased by MAPK inhibitor. Also, expressions of E-cadherin protein in PDGF-B overexpression MKN28 and MKN45 cells were much lower than normal MKN28 and MKN45 cells (p < 0.05), and they could be increased by MAPK inhibitor.

Conclusions
Our data indicate that PDGF-B signalling can induce EMT in gastric carcinoma cells. Thr tumour microenvironment is imperative in the process of PDGF-B signalling inducing EMT in gastric carcinoma cells. Also, activation of MAPK/ERK pathway, which is a downstream pathway of PDGF-B signalling, might participate in this process.
