Article Title: Metastasis-Initiating Osteosarcoma Subpopulations Establish Paracrine Interactions with Lung and Tumor Cells to Create a Metastatic Niche
doi: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-24-3360
Figure Lengend Snippet: Sustained IL6 production is maintained by a small subset of hypoproliferative cells that anchor osteosarcoma cells to the lung niche. A, IF expression of IL6 (red) and CXCL8 (green) over time (8–72 hours) following stimulation with IL1α. White, proliferating cells (Ki-67); blue, DAPI. Scale bar, 50 µm. B and C, ELISA and IF quantitation demonstrating that IL6 and CXCL8 production remains constant over time, whereas IL6 and CXCL8+ expression by IF becomes progressively restricted to Ki-67− cells. ELISA, two biological replicates done in technical triplicate. Percentage of IL6, CXCL8, and Ki-67 quantified in n = 3 experiments, 100 cells/experiment. ANOVA with Dunnett multiple comparisons test. ***, P < 0.001; ****, P < 0.0001. D, IL6, CXCL8, and Ki-67 expression in NCH-OS-4 cells following stimulation with IL1α (72 hours). Scale bar, 50 µm. E, F420 murine cells stimulated with murine IL1α (72 hours) and stained with Ki-67 (red), IL6 (green), and DAPI (blue). Scale bar, 50 µm. F, Quantitation of IL6 and Ki-67 staining in NCH-OS-4 and F420 cells.
