Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) The correlation between MMP-2 expression and CD274 expression. R > 0.3, p < 0.05. (B) SW480 cells were transfected with MMP-2 siRNA, the level of MMP-2 and PD-L1 were detected by Western blot. (C) Relative expression of MMP-2, n = 3/group. (D) Relative expression of PD-L1, n = 3/group. ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, ns , not significant ( p > 0.05).
Article Snippet: The human colon cancer cell line SW480 (Procell Life Science & Technology, Wuhan, China, batch of cells is CL-0223) and Caco-2 (Procell Life Science & Technology, Wuhan, China, batch of cells is CL-0050) were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium (HyClone, Logan, UT, USA), supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100 U/mL of penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin.
