Fig. 2From: Palmitic acid-activated GPRs/KLF7/CCL2 pathway is involved in the crosstalk between bone marrow adipocytes and prostate cancerPA upregulated CCL2 in BMA and promoted the proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities of PCa cells. PA was used for stimulating the adipocytic differentiation of MSCs for 48 h. A The mRNA expression levels of CCL2/KLF7/GPR40/GPR120 in BMA were determined using qRT-PCR. B The protein expression levels of CCL2/KLF7/GPR40/GPR120 in BMA were determined using Western Blot. C The CCL2 secretion levels were determined using ELISA. D The oil red O staining was performed. E The mRNA expression levels of HSL/ATGL in BMA were determined using qRT-PCR. F The conditioned medium obtained from the BMA incubated with PA (CM-BMA-PA) was adopted for culturing the PCa cell lines. The (G, H) proliferation, (I, J) invasion, and (K, L) migration abilities of PC-3 cells and 22RV1 cells were determined. In the t-test, the differences with *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001 were statistically significantBack to article page
