Cell lines	Fas expressionb (%)	VEGF (ng/OD)c
LM7	14.1	582.5 ± 69.59
LM7/vector	21.6	276.8 ± 22.0d
LM7/Fas	81.1	256.6 ± 26.75d
LM7/Fas/vector	82.5	283.3 ± 31.32d
LM7/VEGF165	21.0	2045.9 ± 48.9e

^aLM7 cells were transfected with empty vector alone, Fas, Fas + empty vector (Fas/vector), VEGF₁₆₅, or Fas + VEGF₁₆₅ (Fas/VEGF₁₆₅).

^bFas expression was quantified by flow cytometry analysis.

^cVEGF₁₆₅ protein was measured by ELISA. The value of the VEGF₁₆₅ protein was adjusted by the OD (MTT assay lived cells in the plate).

^dLM7/vector vs LM7 (level of VEGF), p = 0.0526, LM7/vector vs LM7/Fas (level of VEGF), p = 0.8059, LM7/Fas vs LM7/Fas/vector, p = 0.8130.

^eLM7/VEGF₁₆₅ vs LM7/vector, P < 0.0001.

^fLM7/Fas/VEGF₁₆₅ vs LM7/Fas/vector, P < 0.001.
