Figure Legend Snippet: Fig. 5 The GPER antagonist G-15 reduces STAT3 nuclear accumulation triggered by estrogens. a Immunofluorescence staining of STAT3 in MDA-MB 231 cells treated for 1 h with 100 nM E2 and 100 nM G1 alone or in combination with 100 nM GPER antagonist G-15. Cells were probed with rabbit anti-STAT3 primary antibody followed by FITC-conjugated secondary antibody in order to detect STAT3 displayed by the green signal, whereas the blue signal indicates the nuclei counterstained with DAPI. Images shown are representative of 10 random fields. b Fluorescence intensities of the green signal were quantified in at least 10 random fields in each condition from three independent experiments and data are expressed as fold changes of relative fluorescence units (RFU) upon treatments respect to vehicle-treated cells. Arrows indicate STAT3 nuclear accumulation. (*) indicates p < 0.05
Techniques Used: Immunofluorescence, Staining, Fluorescence
Figure Legend Snippet: Fig. 6 The FAK inhibitor VS-4718 prevents STAT3 nuclear accumulation triggered by estrogens. a Immunofluorescence staining of STAT3 in MDA-MB 231 cells treated for 1 h with 100 nM E2 and 100 nM G1 alone or in combination with 1 μM FAK kinase inhibitor VS-4718. Cells were probed with rabbit anti-STAT3 primary antibody followed by FITC-conjugated secondary antibody in order to detect STAT3 displayed by the green signal, whereas the blue signal indicates the nuclei counterstained with DAPI. Images shown are representative of 10 random fields. b Fluorescence intensities of the green signal were quantified in at least 10 random fields in each condition from three independent experiments and data are expressed as fold changes of relative fluorescence units (RFU) upon treatments respect to vehicle-treated cells.

Figure Legend Snippet: Fig. 7 c-FOS, EGR1 and CTGF regulation by FAK and STAT3. c-FOS (a), EGR1 (b) and CTGF (c) luciferase promoter activity in MDA-MB 231 cells treated for 18 h with 100 nM E2 and 100 nM G1 alone or in combination with 100 nM GPER antagonist G15 or 20 μM STAT3 inhibitor STA21. The luciferase activities were normalized to the internal transfection control and values of cells receiving vehicle were set as 1-fold induction upon which the activities induced by treatments were calculated. Each data point represents the mean ± SD of three independent experiments performed in triplicate. d c-FOS, EGR1 and CTGF mRNA expression measured by real time-PCR in MDA-MB 231 cells treated for 4 h with 100 nM E2 and 100 nM G1 alone or in combination with 100 nM GPER antagonist G15 or 20 μM STAT3 inhibitor STA21. Values normalized to the 18 s expression are shown as fold changes of the mRNA expression induced by treatments compared to cells treated with vehicle (−). e-f Immunoblots showing c-FOS, EGR1 and CTGF protein expression in MDA-MB 231 cells treated for 4 h with 100 nM E2 (e) and 100 nM G1 (f) alone or in combination with 20 μM STAT3 inhibitor STA21. Side panels show densitometric analysis of the immunoblots normalized to β-actin. g c-FOS, EGR1 and CTGF mRNA expression measured by real time-PCR in MDA-MB 231 cells treated for 4 h with 100 nM E2 and 100 nM G1 alone or in combination with 1 μM FAK kinase inhibitor VS-4718. Values normalized to the 18 s expression are shown as fold changes of the mRNA expression induced by treatments compared to cells treated with vehicle (−). Immunoblots showing c-FOS, EGR1 and CTGF protein expression in MDA-MB 231 cells treated for 4 h with 100 nM E2 (h) and 100 nM G1 (i) alone or in combination with 1 μM FAK kinase inhibitor VS-4718. Side panels show densitometric analysis of the immunoblots normalized to β-actin. Results shown are representative of three independent experiments. (*) indicates p < 0.05

Figure Legend Snippet: Fig. 9 The STAT3 inhibitor STA21 suppresses the migration of TNBC cells induced by E2 and G1. a Boyden Chamber assays showing the migration of MDA-MB 231 cells treated for 4 h with 100 nM E2 and 100 nM G1 alone or in combination with 20 μM STAT3 inhibitor STA21. The results are shown as cells migrating through the membrane at the bottom of the well upon treatments respect to vehicle (−). Results shown are representative of three independent experiments. b Cell migration was evaluated by wound-healing assay in MDA-MB 231 cells treated for 24 h with 100 nM E2 and 100 nM G1 alone or in combination with 20 μM STAT3 inhibitor STA21. White dotted lines indicate the wound borders at the beginning of the assay and recorded 24 h post- scratching. Results shown are representative of three independent experiments.
