Figure Lengend Snippet: IL-3 boosts BCSC marker expression and mammosphere formation. ( A , B ) Representative FACS dot plots of ALDH1A1 and CD44/CD24 in MDA-MB-436 and ( C , D ) Hs-578T cells upon treatment with saline, IL-3 (5 ng/ml), antagomiR-155 (100 pmol) + IL-3 (5 ng/ml) and NC (100 pmol) + IL-3 (5 ng/ml) for 24h (n = 3; 3 biological replicates for each n). Data are represented as mean ± SEM. ( E , F ) ALDH activity assay on supernatant of MDA-MB-436 and Hs-578T cell culture upon treatment with saline, IL-3 (5 ng/ml), antagomiR-155 (100 pmol) + IL-3 (5 ng/ml) and NC (100 pmol) + IL-3 (5 ng/ml) for 24h (n = 3; 3 biological replicates for each n). Data are represented as mean ± SEM. ( G-H ) Mammosphere formation assay of MDA-MB-436 and Hs-578T cells subjected to treatment with saline, IL-3 (5 ng/ml), antagomiR-155 (100 pmol) + IL-3 (5ng/ml), NC (100 pmol) + IL-3 (5 ng/ml), IL-3Rα blocking mAb (1 ng/ml) + IL-3 (5 ng/ml) and IL-3 blocking mAb (1 ng/ml) + IL-3 (5 ng/ml) (n = 3; 3 biological replicates for each n). Original magnification corresponds to 20X, scale bar: 50 µm. Data are represented as mean ± SEM
