Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4. STAT3 signalling drives the effects induced by CM CT26. (A) Murine adipocytes were treated with serum-free medium overnight and then stimulated for the indicated time with CM CT26. The levels of total and phosphorylated-Tyr705 of STAT3 were detected using immunoblots. (Panels B–F) show murine adipocytes that were treated with CM CT26 for 48 h. Where indicated, WP1066 (10 µM) was added to CM CT26 or to the control. (B) Representative images of adipocytes. (C) Measures of lipid droplet width and (D) adipocyte area, both calculated using at least ten fields chosen randomly. (E) Lactate assay. (F) Analysis of oxygen consumption reported as oxygen consumption rate (OCR). C, control; CM CT26: conditioned media from colon cancer cell CT26; * p < 0.05; n = 3; scale: 50 µm.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 5. STAT3 controls LDH and adiponectin levels. Murine adipocytes were treated with CM CT26 for 48 h. Where indicated, WP1066 (10 µM) was added to CM CT26. (A) LDH and (B) adiponectin levels assayed using immunoblotting. PVDF membranes were used for normalization, and the mean values are reported in the bar graph. C, control; CM CT26: conditioned media from colon cancer cell CT26; LDH: lactate dehydrogenase; acrp30: adiponectin; * p < 0.05; n = 3.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 6. Proposed model of CM CT26 effects in adipocytes. The treatment of adipocytes with CM CT26 induces STAT3 phosphorylation on Tyr 205. The activation of STAT3 cascade induces the increase in lactate production and the decrease in oxygen consumption, associated with the enhanced level of LDH and the concomitant decrease in adiponectin. The blocking of STAT3 cascade using the inhibitor WP1066 hinders the down-stream effects due to CM CT26, which becomes ineffective. CM CT26: conditioned media from colon cancer cell CT26.
