Figure 2. HA-CXCR7 overexpression in 143B OS cells enhanced CXCL12 scavenging and adhesion to HUVEC.

Figure 2

(A) FACS analysis showed efficient scavenging of fluorescent Venus-tagged CXCL12 (orange profile), CXCL12 antagonist P2G (green profile) and chimeric CXCL11-CXCL12 (blue profile) in 143B-LacZ-HA-X7 (HA-X7), but not in control 143B-LacZ-EV (EV) cells. Controls in the absence of fluorescent ligands (red profiles). (B) Time-dependent uptake of CXCL12-Venus by 143B-LacZ-HA-X7 (○), assessed by time-laps confocal microscopy was not observed in 143B-LacZ-EV (●) cells. (C) CXCL12 at indicated increasing concentrations provoked minimal loss of HA-CXCR7 at the surface of 143B-LacZ-HA-X7 analyzed by FACS. (D) 143B-LacZ-HA-X7 (HA-X7) cells exhibited enhanced adhesion to interleukin-1β activated HUVEC compared to 143B-LacZ-EV cells. #,Ω,Δ indicate significant differences (p<0.05) between indicated cell lines and conditions. Values represent the mean ± SEM (n=3).
