EMMPRIN expression increased in the breast cancer cells with fibroblasts interaction.
(A) EMMPRIN increased in the conditioned medium (CM) from six breast cancer cells co-cultured with Hs578Bst fibroblasts. EMMPRIN was examined by ELISA. (B) EMMPRIN mRNA was enhanced in six breast cancer cell lines with CM from co-cultured cancer cells with fibroblasts compared with CM from fibroblasts. (C) EMMPRIN protein levels increased in SUM102 and BT474 cells with CM. CM was collected from the medium of co-cultured breast cancer cells and Hs578Bst fibroblasts. The data presented were shown as means ± s.d. collected from three independent experiments. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
