Effects of activin A on the invasion and adhesion of mouse NK cells. (A) NK cell invasion was determined by Matrigel-coated transwell assay after treatment with culture medium (Control), 10 ng/mL activin A, 100 ng/mL CXCL12 or 10 ng/mL activin A + 100 ng/mL CXCL12 (n = 3). Scale bar = 50 µm. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01, compared with the control group; ## p < 0.01, compared with the activin A group; §§ p < 0.01, compared with the CXCL12 group (one-way ANOVA; mean ± S.D.). (B) Real-time cell adhesion was assessed by RTCA. NK cells were treated with culture medium (Control), 10 ng/mL activin A, 100 ng/mL CXCL12 or 10 ng/mL activin A + 100 ng/mL CXCL12 (n = 4). * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01, compared with the control group (one-way ANOVA; mean ± S.D.).
