Figure Legend Snippet: Cell–cell and cell–matrix interaction of PC3 par versus PC3 res cells. ( A ) Adhesion to HUVEC. PC3 par and PC3 res cells were treated with fresh medium (without RAD001) for 3 days and then added to HUVEC monolayers for 30, 60 or 120 min. ( B ) Adhesion to extracellular matrix proteins. PC3 par and PC3 res cells were treated with fresh medium (without RAD001) for 3 days and then added to immobilised collagen, laminin or fibronectin for 60 min. The adhesion rate of PC3 par versus PC3 res cells was compared in both experimental settings. Adhesion rate of PC3 par and PC3 res cells was also compared with the number of PC3 par and PC3 res cells treated with fresh medium for 3 days and subsequently with 5 nℳ RAD001. Mean values were calculated from five counts. Mean adhesion ( A ) or binding capacity ( B ) is depicted as adherent cells per 0.25 mm 2 . One representative of six experiments is shown. *indicates significant difference between the PC3 subline not treated with 5 nℳ RAD001 and the PC3 subline treated with 5 nℳ RAD001. # indicates significant difference between PC3 par and PC3 res cells.
Techniques Used: Binding Assay
Figure Legend Snippet: RAD001 resistance alters PC3 chemotaxis ( A, D ), migration ( B ) and invasion ( C ) as assessed in a Transwell chamber assay. PC3 par and PC3 res cells were used, as well as PC3 par and PC3 res cells, additionally treated with 5 nℳ RAD001, as indicated in Materials and Methods. To evaluate chemotaxis, tumour cells were seeded in the upper chamber in serum-free medium, and 10% FCS, as the chemoattractant, was placed in the lower well. To evaluate cell migration, Transwell chambers were precoated with collagen. Invasion was analysed by adding the tumour cells to the upper chamber, which was coated with collagen and overlaid with HUVEC. Cells, which moved to the lower surface of the membrane, were stained using hematoxylin and counted. ( D ) Representative chemotaxis assays. Mean values were calculated from five counts and depicted as cell number per 0.25 mm 2 . One representative of six experiments is shown. *indicates significant difference between the PC3 subline not treated with 5 nℳ RAD001 and the PC3 subline treated with 5 nℳ RAD001. # indicates significant difference between PC3 par and PC3 res cells.
Techniques Used: Chemotaxis Assay, Migration, Transwell Chamber Assay, Membrane, Staining
Figure Legend Snippet: FACS analysis of integrin α and β subtype expression on PC3 par versus PC3 res cells. Cells were washed in blocking solution and then stained with specific monoclonal antibodies as listed in Materials and Methods. To evaluate background staining of PE-conjugated antibodies, goat anti-mouse IgG1-PE or IgG2a-PE was used (dotted lines). Fluorescence was analysed using a FACScan flow cytometer. Mean fluorescence values are given below the histograms. One from three independent experiments.
Techniques Used: Expressing, Blocking Assay, Staining, Bioprocessing, Fluorescence, Flow Cytometry
Figure Legend Snippet: Modification of intracellular integrin protein level. ( A ) Lysates of PC3 par or PC3 res cells were subjected to SDS–PAGE and blotted on the membrane incubated with respective monoclonal antibodies. β -actin served as the internal control. The figure shows one representative from three separate experiments. ( B ) is related to the integrin gene-expression pattern. Primer sets used for evaluation are listed in materials and methods. Calculation of the relative expression of each gene was done by the ΔΔCt method in the analysis programme of SABioscience Corporation. The housekeeping gene GAPDH was used for normalisation. Values are given as fold difference to PC3 par cells. *indicates significant difference.
Techniques Used: Modification, SDS Page, Membrane, Incubation, Bioprocessing, Control, Gene Expression, Expressing
Figure Legend Snippet: Western blot analysis of cell signalling proteins, listed in methods. PC3 par or PC3 res cells remained untreated (control). They were kept for 2 h in serum-free cell culture medium and subsequently stimulated for 30 min with EGF (100 ng ml −1 ; +EGF) or they were stimulated with EGF and additionally treated with 5 nℳ RAD001 (+EGF+RAD001). Cell lysates were then subjected to SDS–PAGE and blotted on the membrane incubated with the respective monoclonal antibodies. β -actin served as the internal control. The figure shows one representative from three separate experiments.
Techniques Used: Western Blot, Control, Cell Culture, SDS Page, Membrane, Incubation, Bioprocessing
Figure Legend Snippet: Influence of integrin α 2, α 5 or β 1 blockade on tumour cell adhesion, chemotaxis or migration. PC3 par or PC3 res cells were preincubated for 60 min with function-blocking anti-integrin β 1, anti-integrin α 2 or anti-integrin α 5 monoclonal antibodies. Controls remained untreated. Cells were then subjected to the adhesion, chemotaxis and migration assay as indicated in Materials and Methods. Values are shown as percentage difference to the 100% control. *indicates significant difference between the PC3 control subline and the PC3 subline treated with the function-blocking antibody. # indicates significant difference between PC3 par and PC3 res cells whose integrin subtype was blocked.
Techniques Used: Chemotaxis Assay, Migration, Blocking Assay, Bioprocessing, Control
