Figure Legend Snippet: Dose-response curves and IC₅₀ determination of CB2R compounds across gastric cancer cell lines. MTT assays were performed at 48 and 72 h to calculate IC₅₀ values. The graphs represented the results expressed as % of vitality at 48 h and displayed five coloured sigmoid curves, each corresponding to a different CB2R compound: blue for the antagonist AM630 , red for CC48 , green for Fi9 , purple for ASF151 and yellow for the reference compound 1 . The corresponding IC₅₀ values with their standard error of the mean (SEM), are shown alongside. Data are from one of three independent experiments; each performed in triplicate
Techniques Used:
Figure Legend Snippet: CB2R-binding compounds counter PTX resistance and promote PTX-mediated inhibition of cell proliferation.The Ki67 cytofluorimetric assay was performed after treatment of PTX-sensitive HGC27 cells and their resistant counterparts and NCI-N87 cells with a combination of 10µM CC48 or Fi9 or ASF151 or 1 or 6 µM AM630 with 4 µM PTX. A ) Representative flow cytometry charts after exposure to CC48 and reporting the percentage of Ki67 negative (blue) and positive (red) cells; the Ki67 + population of the control is shown in grey. B ) Statistical charts reporting the results obtained in HGC27-S, HGC27-R and NCI-N87, from three independent experiments and expressed as means ± SD. Statistical analysis was assessed by comparing the values obtained using single drug treatment to those of corresponding untreated cells and the combined treatments to those with PTX alone, * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01
Techniques Used: Binding Assay, Inhibition, Cytofluorimetric Assay, Flow Cytometry, Control

Figure Legend Snippet: Apoptotic profile of CB2R ligands and PTX in HGC27-S/R and NCI-N87 cells. The Muse caspase 3/7 activation Cell Assay was assessed after 48 h of both single drug treatments with 4 nM PTX, 6 µM AM630 , 10 µM CC48 , Fi9 , ASF151 and compound 1 , and after combined treatment of PTX with CB2R target compounds. A ) Representative flow cytometry charts of HGC27-S/R are shown. Four cell populations can be distinguished, namely the percentage of live cells (bottom left quadrant), cells in early apoptosis (bottom right quadrant), in late apoptosis (top right quadrant) and dead cells (top left quadrant). B ) The results derived from three independent experiments on HGC27-S, HGC27-R and NCI-N87 cell lines are expressed as means ± SD and reported in the relative graphs. Statistical analysis was conducted, comparing the values obtained using single drug treatment to those of corresponding untreated cells and the combined treatments to those of the single treatments, * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001

Figure Legend Snippet: Effects of CB2R ligands on inhibition of cell migration and VEGFA secretion. A ) Scratch assay evaluated on HGC27-S/R and AGS treated with 1 and 6 µM AM630 and 1 and 10 µM CC48 , Fi9 , ASF151 and 1 . Cells were microscopically analyzed at the time of scratching (T0) and after 24 h (T1). The relative migration rate was calculated by placing the percentage migration of control cells at time T1 equal to 1 and comparing the percentage migration of cells after each drug treatment with this value. The experiments were performed in triples and the average SD values were plotted in the relative graph. * p < 0,05; ** p < 0,01; B ) Representative western blotting analyses performed in HGC27- S/R and AGS cells regarding the expression of P-βcatenin/βcatenin, vimentin and P-cofillin/cofillin.
