Fig. 3From: β2AR-HIF-1α-CXCL12 signaling of osteoblasts activated by isoproterenol promotes migration and invasion of prostate cancer cellsβ2AR signaling blockage of osteoblasts triggered by ISO attenuates the migration and invasion of prostate cancer cells. a Migration and invasion of PC-3 and DU145 cells were measured over 12 h and 24 h, respectively, in the co-culture with MC3T3E1 osteoblasts with or without 10 μM ISO, or with 10 μM ISO combined with 50 μM ICI 118,551, a β2-adrenergic receptor antagonist (left). Quantification of relative migration and invasion (right) (n = 3). b Migration and invasion of PC-3 and DU145 cells were measured over 12 h and 24 h, respectively, in the co-culture with primary osteoblasts and the experimental procedures were similar to (a) (left). Quantitative analysis of relative cell migration and invasion (right) (n = 3). Scales bars, 100 μm; Data represent the mean ± SEM. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, and ****p < 0.0001Back to article page
