(A) Representative western blot for apelin performed on whole cell lysates obtained from pre-adipocytes and mature adipocytes. (B) Apelin secreted by pre-adipocytes and mature adipocytes into the medium quantified using ELISA. (C) Representative images of 8 hr-transwell migration assay performed in OVCAR-5-EV and APJ lines and (D) its quantification. (E) Representative images of 8 hr-transwell migration assay performed in OVCAR-8 cell and (F) its quantification. The cells were allowed to migrate to control media (10% FBS) or Adipocyte-conditioned media (Adipo CM), as indicated.
Results were obtained from 3 independent experiments (mean±SEM). Statistical analysis was performed using student’s t-test for B, and one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey post hoc test for D,F. *P< 0.05; **P< 0.01;***P<0.001; ****P<0.0001.
