Figure Lengend Snippet: Cell viability of Wi38, Caco-2, and PANC-1 cells treated with biogenic Se-NPs (31.2–1000 µg mL –1 ). Different letters ( a , b , and c ) on the bars at the same concentration indicate the results are significantly different ( n = 3, P ≤ 0.05)

Article Snippet: To assess the cytotoxic activity of Se-NPs using crystal violet viability assay, three different cell lines were investigated: the WI38 human fibroblast cell line (ATCC CCL-75), the Caco-2 human colon adenocarcinoma cell line (ATCC HTB-37), and the PANC-1 human pancreatic cancer cell line (ATCC CRL-1469).

(A) Cell metabolic activity of Wi38 cells on the OL and IL on days 1, 5, and 7. (B) DNA quantification on the OL and IL at day 7. (C) Coverage of the IL by Wi38 cells at day 7. Representative images of Wi38 cells growing on the OL using three seeding densities: (D) 1.5 × 10 5 cells/cm 2 , (E) 3 × 10 5 cells/cm 2 and (F) 6 × 10 5 cells/cm 2 . Cells were treated with DAPI (blue) and phalloidin (red) to stain the nuclei and actin filaments, respectively. Images were captured via confocal microscopy (Axio Examiner.Z1 confocal microscope). Results displayed as mean ± SEM ( n = 3, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01).

Figure Lengend Snippet: iCAFs increase the migratory ability of neutrophils, activating them, and prolonging their life span. A WI38 cells were cultured in cancer CM for 4 days to produce CAFs. B α SMA and IL-8 are representative markers of myCAF and iCAF, respectively. Left: α SMA expression within CAFs induced by MIA PaCa-2-CM was lower than TGF-β-treated CAFs and non-treated control WI38 cells. Right: IL-8 expression within MIA PaCa-2-CM-induced CAFs was higher than in non-treated WI38 cells. C Migration assay of neutrophils. Image taken at 100 × magnification and the number of migrated cells per field was counted. Neutrophil migration was significantly increased in the CAF-CM group compared to the FBS-treated positive control. Mean ± SD is shown. Each dot represents the number of cells per field (× 100). One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s test was used. ***, P = 0.0004. D Compared to non-stimulated neutrophils, those treated with CAF-CM for 24 h showed increased intracellular IL-8. E. Comparing the area of living neutrophils in 9 random fields of view after 24 h, CAF-CM-stimulated neutrophils had a significantly larger area. Student’s t-test was used. ****, P < 0.0001
