Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 7. Cell proliferation assays using CCK-8 kit in response to treatment with either recombinant CCN1 (rCCN1), recombinant APRIL (rAPRIL), recombinant BAFF (rBAFF), or recombinant CCN1 (rCCN1) plus recombinant active Furin (rFurin). (A) Quantitative analysis of the relative cell numbers of OE19, OE33, KYSE150, and KYSE410 after incubation with recombinant CCN1 for up to 48 h based on at least 3 replicates. The initial number of cells was set to 100 arbitrarily. (B) Quantitative analysis of the relative cell numbers of OE19, OE33, KYSE150, and KYSE410 after incubation with recombinant CCN1 plus recombinant active Furin for up to 48 h based on at least 3 replicates. The initial number of cells was set to 100 arbitrarily. (C) Quantitative analysis of the relative cell numbers of OE19, OE33, KYSE150, and KYSE410 after incubation with recombinant CCN1 plus recombinant active Furin for up to 24 h, and then Furin was replenished as indicated by the arrow. Based on at least 3 replicates. The initial number of cells was set to 100 arbitrarily. (D) Quantitative analysis of the relative cell numbers of OE19, OE33, KYSE150, and KYSE410 after incubation with recombinant APRIL for up to 48 h based on at least 3 replicates. The initial number of cells was set to 100 arbitrarily. (E) Quantitative analysis of the relative cell numbers of OE19, OE33, KYSE150, and KYSE410 after incubation with recombinant BAFF for up to 48 h based on at least 3 replicates. The initial number of cells was set to 100 arbitrarily. (F) Quantitative analysis of the relative cell numbers of OE19, OE33, KYSE150, and KYSE410 after incubation with recombinant APRIL for up to 24 h, and then APRIL was replenished as indicated by the arrow. Based on at least 3 replicates. The initial number of cells was set to 100 arbitrarily. (G) Quantitative analysis of the relative cell numbers of OE19, OE33, KYSE150, and KYSE410 after incubation with recombinant BAFF for up to 24 h, and then BAFF was replenished as indicated by the arrow. Based on at least 3 replicates. The initial number of cells was set to 100 arbitrarily. *Statistical significance.
