Figure Legend Snippet: Figure 1. Viability of BME-UV1 bovine mammary epithelial cells treated for 24 h with different concentrations of chemerin, leptin, or adiponectin. Graphs present cell viability measured using the MTT assay. The viability of untreated control cells (0) was designated as 100%. Results are presented as means ± standard deviation of three independent experiments.
Techniques Used: MTT Assay, Control, Standard Deviation
Figure Legend Snippet: Figure 2. Expression of adipokine receptors in BME-UV1 bovine mammary epithelial cells. (A,B) Expression of adiponectin receptors (ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2); (C,D) expression of chemerin receptors (CMLKR1 and GPR1). The relative mRNA expression of the analyzed genes was normalized to the mean expression of the histone reference gene. The expression of each analyzed gene in cells cultured in control medium (Ctrl.) was given as 1. Treatment with adiponectin at concentrations of 10 ng/mL or 500 ng/mL is marked as A10 and A500, respectively. Treatment with chemerin at concentrations of 10 ng/mL or 100 ng/mL is marked as Ch10 and Ch100, respectively. Results are presented as means ± standard deviation of three independent experiments performed in duplicate. Values that differed significantly from control are marked as ** (p < 0.01) or *** (p < 0.001).
Techniques Used: Expressing, Cell Culture, Control, Standard Deviation
Figure Legend Snippet: Figure 4. Evaluation of apoptosis in BME-UV1 bovine mammary epithelial cells treated with chemerin (Ch10 = 10 ng/mL, Ch100 = 100 ng/mL), leptin (L10 = 10 ng/mL, L100 = 100 ng/mL), or adiponectin (A10 = 10 ng/mL, A500 = 500 ng/mL) for 24 h. (A) Representative dot-plots of Annexin V/PI double staining in untreated control cells; (B) graph showing percentage of apoptotic cells (sum of Annexin Vpos/PIneg and Annexin Vpos/Pipos cells) in control and adipokine-treated cells; (C) representative images of Western blot (WB) analysis of apoptotic markers cleaved caspase 3 and bax, where gapdh was used as a reference protein; (D,E) graphs showing the results of the densitometric analysis of WB images; the integrated optical density (IOD) of cleaved caspase 3 and bax bands was normalized to the IOD of gapdh bands. Results are presented as means ± standard deviation of three or four independent experiments.
Techniques Used: Double Staining, Control, Western Blot, Standard Deviation
Figure Legend Snippet: Figure 5. Concentration of αS1-casein in BME-UV1 cells (A) and media (B) collected after 24 h of culture. Cell were treated with chemerin (Ch10 = 10 ng/mL, Ch100 = 100 ng/mL), leptin (L10 = 10 ng/mL, L100 = 100 ng/mL) or adiponectin (A10 = 10 ng/mL, A500 = 500 ng/mL). Un- treated cells were used as a negative control, whereas cells exposed for 24 h to the lactogenic hormone prolactin (PRL, 1 µg/mL) were used as a positive control. Results are presented as means ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. Means followed by a common letter are not significantly different according to one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison post-test, at the 5% level of significance (p < 0.05).
Techniques Used: Concentration Assay, Negative Control, Positive Control, Standard Deviation, Comparison
Figure Legend Snippet: Figure 6. Panels of confocal micrographs presenting the immunofluorescence staining of BME-UV1 cells cultured on Matrigel for 11 days in control growth medium (Ctrl.) or medium supplemented with chemerin (Ch10 = 10 ng/mL, Ch100 = 100 ng/mL), leptin (L10 = 10 ng/mL, L100 = 100 ng/mL), or adiponectin (A10 = 10 ng/mL, A500 = 500 ng/mL). Cells were stained with primary antibodies against β1-integrin and secondary antibodies conjugated with Alexa Fluor 488 dye (green fluorescence); Alexa Fluor 594 phalloidin, detecting F-actin (red fluorescence), and nuclei counterstained with Hoechst 33342 (blue fluorescence). Images were taken at 600× magnification and are representative for three independent experiments. Scale bar: 20 µm.

Figure Legend Snippet: Figure 7. Diameters of 3D mammospheres formed by BME-UV1 cells cultured on Matrigel for 11 days. Cells were cultured in control growth medium (Ctrl.) or medium supplemented with chemerin (Ch10 = 10 ng/mL, Ch100 = 100 ng/mL), leptin (L10 = 10 ng/mL, L100 = 100 ng/mL), or adiponectin (A10 = 10 ng/mL, A500 = 500 ng/mL). The diameters of cross sections of the spheroids were measured using ImageJ software (https://ij.imjoy.io accessed on 2 April 2024). Results are presented as means ± standard deviation of at least 14 spheroids per experimental condition photographed using a confocal microscope equipped with a digital camera.
