Changes in MDA-MB-231 tumor collagen 1A1 and fibronectin-1, enzymes, and fibroblast markers with VEGF overexpression as detected by immunoblotting of tumor tissue.

Immunoblot analysis of ECM proteins and enzymes in tumors. (a) Decrease of Col1A1 and fibronectin identified in 231_VEGF compared with 231_WT tumor samples. (b) Increase of MMP-1 in 231_VEGF compared with 231_WT tumor samples. (c) Decrease of MMP-2, and increase of uPAR in 231_VEGF compared with 231_WT tumor samples. (d) Decrease of ADAMST1 and (e) increase of LOX in 231_VEGF compared with 231_WT tumor samples. (f) Increase of α-SMA and decrease of FAP-α in 231_VEGF compared with 231_WT tumor samples. GAPDH was used as a loading control. n = 5 for 231_WT and n = 5 for 231_VEGF in all immunoblots.
