Figure Lengend Snippet: a Expression of αvβ5 integrin in PC3 cells after 2 days of incubation in normal media (NM) or CM prepared from cultured hPCF1424 CAFs ( n = 9), mPCFAA0779 CAFs ( n = 7), or MIA PaCa-2 human PDAC cells ( n = 4) performed in independent experiments. Fold over NM is shown. One-way ANOVA; p < 0.0001 (NM vs. hPCF1424 CM), p = 0.5085 (NM vs. mPCFAA0779 CM), p = 0.9886 (NM vs. MIA PaCa-2). b Dot plots representing iRGD-AgNP or control AgNP uptake in PC3 cells cultured in NM or CM from hPCF1424 CAFs. c The bar diagrams show the proportion of PC3 (left) or LM-PmC (right) cells that internalized iRGD-AgNPs. The cells were incubated in NM or CM from hPCF1424 CAFs for 2 days prior to study. n = 6 (PC3), n = 3 (LM-P) independent experiments. Two-tailed unpaired Student’s t test; p = 0.0001 (PC3 NM vs. CAF CM), p = 0.0127 (LM-P NM vs. CAF CM). d Expression of actin, αv, and β5 integrin mRNAs normalized against cyclophilin A analyzed by qPCR in PC3 cells incubated with NM or CM from hPCF1424 CAFs. n = 3 independent experiments. Two-tailed unpaired Student’s t test; p = 0.00016 (αv), p < 0.0001 (β5), p = 0.923 (actin). e , f Expression of αvβ5 integrin ( e ) or NRP-1 ( f ) in PC3 cells cultured in normal media (NM) or CM from hPCF1424 CAFs in the presence or absence of exogenous TGF-β, a TGF-β-specific inhibitor LY2157299, or vehicle alone. Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) assessed by flow cytometry is shown. n = 4 independent experiments. Two-tailed unpaired Student’s t test; p = 0.0008 ( e: NM vs. TGF-β), p = 0.0009 ( e: TGF-β vs. TGF-β + LY2157299), p = 0.7082 ( e: CAF CM vs. CAF CM + DMSO), p = 0.0177 ( e: CAF CM + DMSO vs. CAF CM + LY2157299). No significant differences in ( f ). All error bars, SEM; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; **** p < 0.0001. Source data provided in Source Data file.
Article Snippet: The sections were treated with a rabbit anti-αvβ5 polyclonal antibody (1:200) (Cat. no. bs-1356R, BIOSS, Woburn, MA) or a rabbit polyclonal anti-cleaved caspase 3 antibody (1:250) (Cat. no. 9579S, Cell Signaling) at 4 °C overnight and incubated with ImmPRESS (IHC-P, rabbit, MP-7401) secondary antibody reagent (Vector, Burlingame, CA).
