Fig. 4From: RETRACTED ARTICLE: 8-bromo-7-methoxychrysin suppress stemness of SMMC-7721 cells induced by co-culture of liver cancer stem-like cells with hepatic stellate cellsEffects of addtion or deletion of IL-6 combined with HGF on stemness of SMMC-7721 cells. a The representative images of sphere forming cells in SMMC-7721 cells induced by LCSLC-CM added into IL-6 or HGF or both(left). Effects of LCSLC-CM added IL-6 or HGF or both on sphere forming rate of SMMC-7721 cells (* P < 0.05 vs treated with LCSLC-CM;# P < 0.05 vs LCSLC-CM added with IL-6 or HGF alone.) (right). b Western blot analyzed the expressions of FAP-α in LX-2 cells induced by LX-2-CM added into IL-6 or HGF or both. β-actin was used as loading control(left). Densitometry analysis quantify the expression of FAP-α (* P < 0.05 vs treated with LX-2-CM;# P < 0.05 vs LX-2-CM added into IL-6 or HGF alone.) (right). c The representative images of sphere forming cells in SMMC-7721 cells induced by Co-CM treated with IL-6 Ab or HGF Ab or both(left). Effects of Co-CM added IL-6 Ab or HGF Ab or both on sphere forming rate of SMMC-7721 cells (* P < 0.05 vs treated with Co-CM;# P < 0.05 vs Co-CM added into IL-6 Ab or HGF Ab alone.) (right). d Western blot analyzed the expressions of FAP-α in LX-2 cells induced by Co-CM treated with IL-6 Ab or HGF Ab or both (left). Densitometry analysis quantify the expression of FAP-α (* P < 0.05 vs treated with Co-CM;# P < 0.05 vs Co-CM added into IL-6 Ab or HGF Ab alone.) (right)Back to article page
