Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A , B ) FN1 but not SPP1 silencing in fibrotic lung-derived fibroblasts attenuated the ability of CM-FLF to chemoattract tumor cells. The fibrotic lung-derived fibroblasts were transfected with the indicated siRNAs for 48 hours, followed by refreshment with 1% FBS-supplemented RPMI 1640. The conditioned medium was harvested 24 hours later, and then applied to the lower chamber of transwell. ( C , D ) FN1 and SPP1 silencing in fibrotic lung-derived fibroblasts abrogated the anti-apoptosis activity of CM-FLF. The fibrotic lung-derived fibroblasts were transfected with the indicated siRNAs for 48 hours, followed by refreshment with serum-free RPMI 1640. The conditioned medium was harvested 24 hours later, and applied to incubation with Hepa1-6 (C) and 4T1 (D) for 36 hours before DAPI staining. iMAX, treatment with transfection reagent RNAiMAX. NC, transfection with negative control duplex for siRNAs. Data are derived from three independent experiments. * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001; ns, not significant.
Article Snippet: Sections were incubated at 4°C overnight with mouse monoclonal antibody against SPP1 (1:500, ZM-0174, ZSGB-BIO, China) or rabbit polyclonal antibody against GFP (1:200, LS-C154219, LSBio, WA, USA), FSP1 (1:400, ZA-0257, ZSGB-BIO, China) and FN1 (1:200, ZA-0106, ZSGB-BIO, China), then immunostained using ChemMate DAKO EnVision Detection Kit, Peroxidase/DAB, Rabbit/Mouse (DakoCytomation, Glostrup, Denmark).
