Figure 5.

Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP1) and haptoglobin (Hp) are affected in their capacity to migrate by CCR2 antagonist (RS1028959 exposition). Wound-healing assays were performed on SKOV-3 cells for 0, 12, 24 and 48 h at the indicated doses of Hp (250 μg) and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP1, 250 ng). In addition, the effect of pretreatment with the chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 2 (CCR2) synthetic antagonist RS102895 (5 μM) on the capacity of SKOV-3 cells to migrate toward MCP1 (250 ng/ml) and Hp (0.250 mg/ml) is shown. As a negative control, bovine serum albumin (BSA) (1 mg/ml) was used. Chemotaxis was measured by confocal microscopy; nuclei (blue) were stained with DAPI (1:50). (B) Quantitative analysis of migration by the software Zen 2011 (Blue edition, Carl Zeiss) considering an average area of 9 × 105 μm2. This program determines the mean fluorescence intensity of each condition, which is plotted as a histogram. The results correspond to the average of 3 independent experiments. Bar scale = 100 μm.
