Isolation and characterization of CAFs. (a) The outgrowth of fibroblastic cells from tumor tissue began on day two and reached 80% confluence on day 21. These cells were passaged and maintained for Curcumin treatment and co-culture experiments. (b) Passage 2 or 3 CAFs were used in all experiments. Fibroblastic colonies were cultured in 4-well plates and immune stained with rabbit anti-human FAP, and (c) nuclei were counterstained with DAPI. Cells showed expression of FAP.
