Figure Lengend Snippet: PKD2/3 enhance MCs migration through upregulation of SCF, CCL5 and CCL11 in prostate cancer cellsmRNA and the protein level of the scf , ccl5 and ccl11 were analyzed by real-time qPCR and ELISA in DU145 ( a ) and PC-3 M ( b ) cells transfected with siRNA of PKD2, PKD3. Data representing the means ± S.D. of three independent experiments was analyzed by one-way ANOVA for significance versus si-CTL. ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05 versus si-CTL. c Knockdown efficiency of PKD2 and PKD3 in prostate cancer cells was verified by Western blotting. d DU145 cells were transfected with siRNA of PKD2, PKD3, the Conditional medium (CM) was collected to measure migration of P815 cells in response to SCF, CCL5, and CCL11 treatment by transwell assay. e Quantification were analyzed from data in D. ***p < 0.001 versus si-CTL by One-ANOVA tests
Article Snippet: The prostate cancer cell lines, PC-3, DU145 and RM1, and the mouse mast cell lines P815 were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection and cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM, Gibco) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco) in a humidified incubator at 37 °C with 5% CO 2 .
Techniques: Migration, Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay, Transfection, Knockdown, Western Blot, Transwell Assay
