Figure Lengend Snippet: Senescent cells secrete bFGF and GM-CSF that promote the motility of breast cancer cells ( A ) Relative mRNA levels (mean ± SD, n = 3) of GM-CSF, bFGF and CXCL1 in young (PD31) and senescent (PD62) BJ cells as determined by quantitative real time PCR analysis. ( B ) Relative protein levels (mean ± SD, n = 3) of GM-CSF, bFGF and CXCL1 in the conditioned medium from young (PD31) and senescent (PD62) BJ cells as determined by ELISA. ( C - D ) Representative crystal violet-stained images of transwell migration of MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468 and MCF-7 cells co-cultured with medium containing DMSO, 10 ng/ml of bFGF, 20 ng/ml of GM-CSF or both for 12 h ( C ), and quantification of number of migrated cells per field (mean ± SD, n = 3) ( D ). At least 5 randomly chosen 20X fields were counted for each of the triplicates. ( E - F ) Representative images of MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468 and MCF-7 cells immediately (0 h), 24 h (24 h, for MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468) or 48 h (48 h, for MCF-7) after a scratch wound was made and co-cultured with medium containing DMSO, 10 ng/ml of bFGF, 20 ng/ml of GM-CSF or both ( E ), and quantification of the distance of the wound edges by ImageJ at 24 h (for MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468) or 48 h (for MCF-7) (mean ± SD, n = 3) ( F ). ( A - B , D , F ) * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001 vs. BJ-PD31 in unpaired, 2-sample t-tests ( A - B ) or between indicated groups in One-way ANOVA corrected for multiple comparisons using Tukey’s multiple comparison correction adjustment ( D , F )
