Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of collagen type XI alpha 1 ( COL11A1 ) on growth, proliferation, and migration of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). (A) COL11A1 , matrix metalloproteinase ( MMP )3, and MMP13 messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in normal fibroblasts (NFs) and CAFs. (B) Protein expression of COL11A1, MMP3, and MMP13 in NFs and CAFs. (C) Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) detection of MMP3 and MMP13 content in supernatant of bone marrow cells (BMCs) co-cultured with NFs and CAFs. (D) mRNA expression levels of COL11A1 after knockout. (E) Protein expression levels of COL11A1 after knockout. (F) Cell counting kit (CCK)-8 assay to evaluate the growth activity of CAFs after COL11A1 knockout ( COL11A1 KO ). (G) 5-Ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) labeling to measure the proliferation rate of CAFs after COL11A1 KO . (H) Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining to assess the apoptosis rate of CAFs after COL11A1 KO . (I) Wound healing experiment to determine the migration ability of CAFs after COL11A1 KO . (J) Expression of relevant proteins in CAFs after COL11A1 KO . ∗∗ P < 0.01; all cell experiments were repeated three times. GAPDH: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; OD: optical density; DAPI: 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; p-PI3K: phosphorylated-phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K); p-AKT: phosphorylated-protein kinase B (AKT); p-mTOR: phosphorylated mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR).
Article Snippet: The levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)3 and MMP13 in the cell supernatant were detected using the mouse MMP3 ELISA kit (D721078, Bioss, Beijing, China) and mouse MMP13 ELISA kit (D721035, Bioss, Beijing, China).
