Figure Lengend Snippet: Co-culture of organotypic brain tissue slices ex vivo with GBM cells. ( A ) Effects of multiple irradiation on PGs’ expression in brain tissue. Real-time RT–PCR analysis, intensity of the amplified DNA fragments normalized to that of Gapdh , bars represent the mean ± SD from triplicate experiments, Student t-test (OriginPro 8.5). ( B ) Overall transcriptional activity of PG core protein-coding genes in brain tissue from control and irradiated mouse brains. The stacked columns compare the contribution of each value to a total across categories. ( C ) Confocal microscopy of U87-RFP cells seeded on the control and irradiated brain slices. Cells nuclei are stained with DAPI. Scale bar 500 μm. ( D ) Quantitative analysis of the U87-RFP cells on the control and irradiated brain tissues. ANOVA and post-hoc Fisher’s LSD test, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.
Article Snippet: For co-culture experiments, human GBM U87 cells stably expressing RFP (U87-RFP cells) (AntiCancer Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) were used.
