Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Box plots of cell viability (MTT) assays ± calcitonin gene–related peptide (CGRP) of human cancer cell lines (LNCaP, PC-3, DU145, MCF-7, ZR75-1, MDA MB-231, SK-MES-1, and A549) for 48 h. P ≤ 0.05 is considered as statistically significant (one-way ANOVA). (B, C, D, E) IncuCyte ZOOM cell proliferation assays ± CGRP of human bone metastatic cancer cell lines (B) PC-3, (C) DU145, (D) MDA MB-231, and (E) A549 for 72 h. Data are the mean ± SEM. Significance versus vehicle (mixed-effects models). (F) Doubling time ± CGRP of human bone metastatic cancer cell lines (PC-3, DU145, MDA MB-231, and A549) for 72 h. Data are the mean ± SEM. Significance versus vehicle ( t test). * P ≤ 0.05, ** P ≤ 0.01, *** P ≤ 0.001, and **** P ≤ 0.0001. (G) Box plots of cell viability (MTT) assays ± calcitonin gene–related peptide (CGRP) ± CGRP 8-37 ( calcitonin receptor–like receptor inhibitor) of human cancer cell lines (PC3, DU145, MDA MB-231, and A549) for 48 h. P ≤ 0.05 is considered as statistically significant (one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s multiple comparisons). (H) IncuCyte ZOOM cell proliferation assays ± CGRP ± CGRP 8-37 of DU145 for 72 h. Data are the mean ± SEM. Significance versus vehicle (mixed-effects models). (I) Box plots of cell viability (MTT) assays ± substance P (SP) of human cancer cell lines (PC-3, DU145, ZR75-1, MDA MB-231, SK-MES-1, and A549) for 48 h. P ≤ 0.05 is considered as statistically significant (one-way ANOVA). (J) Plasma SP levels of prostate cancer patients without (n = 11) and with (n = 22) bone metastasis. Data are the mean ± SEM ( t test). * P ≤ 0.05, ** P ≤ 0.01, *** P ≤ 0.001, and **** P ≤ 0.0001.
Article Snippet: In some cases, cells were pretreated with the CGRP receptor antagonist (1 nM, CGRP 8-37, Cat. #: 1181; Tocris Bioscience) or p38 inhibitor (5 μM, SB203580, Cat. #: S1076; Selleckchem) for 1 h before the CGRP treatment.
