Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 1 Up-regulation of chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 1 (CCL1) expression in tumor-associated macrophage (TAM)elike macrophages. A: Expression of CCL1 mRNA in peripheral blood monocyte (PBMo)ederived macrophages, TAM-like macrophages (TAM8, TAM9, and TAM15), and TE-8, TE-9, and TE-15 cells was determined using quantitative real-time PCR. Data were normalized to GAPDH levels (internal control). Assays were performed in triplicate. B: CCL1 con- centration in the supernatant of PBMo-derived macrophages, TAM-like macrophages (TAM8, TAM9, and TAM15), and TE-8, TE-9, and TE-15 cells. Protein levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Assays were performed in triplicate. C: Expression of CCL1 in PBMo-derived macrophages and TAM-like macrophages (TAM8, TAM9, and TAM15) was confirmed by immunofluorescence using an anti-CCL1 antibody (green). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Macrophages were stained using an anti-CD204 antibody (red). Data are expressed as means SEM (A and B). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001. Scale bars Z 50 mm (C).
Article Snippet: ESCC tissues were incubated with rabbit antibody against CCL1 (1:50; number HPA049861; Atlas Antibody)/CCR8 (1:100; number NBP2-15768; Novus Biologicals), mouse antibody against CD204 (1:100; number KT022; Trans Genic Inc.), mouse antibody against forkhead box P3 (1:100; number 20034; Abcam), or sheep antibody against fibroblast activation protein (1:100; number AF3715; R&D systems) at 4 C overnight.
