Figure Lengend Snippet: CXCL9 inhibits M2 macrophage-induced pro-tumor signaling in co-cultured A549 cells. (A) Representative Western blot bands showing the protein expression levels of VEGF-C, MMP2, MMP9, ERK, p-ERK, AKT, and p-AKT in A549 cells and M2 macrophages under different treatment conditions. β-actin was used as the loading control. (B-H) Quantitative analysis of relative protein expression levels normalized to β-actin. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (n=3). (B) Relative expression of VEGF-C. (C) Relative expression of MMP2. (D) Relative expression of MMP9. (E) Relative expression of total ERK. (F) Relative expression of p-ERK. (G) Relative expression of total AKT. (H) Relative expression of p-AKT. *, indicates a significant difference (P<0.05).
