Fig 3. The role of IL-10 in recapitulating the fetal functional profile of AFB.

Fig 3

A) Rate of metabolism, B) apoptosis, C) migration and D) invasion were compared between AFB, AFB+IL-10, and FFB to determine if IL-10 treatment can recapitulate the fetal functional profile in the FFB. IL-10 treatment recapitulated the migration and invasion aspects of the fetal-type fibroblast phenotype in AFB, but metabolism and apoptosis rates were not impacted by IL-10. Bar plots represent average±SD. Asterisks denote statistically significant differences between the groups (* p<0.05, ** p<0.01; Student’s t-test and ANOVA; n = 3 per group at similar passage number; each experiment was conducted in triplicates with cells from independent isolations).
