CM from cells transfected with various plasmids as specified above was added to MDA-MB-231 and H1299 cells.
P value was calculated by using a two-tailed Student's t test.
Cos7 cells were transfected with vector control or with SEMA3B expression vector, and CM was collected 48 h thereafter.
Significant decrease as compared with Control-CM.
SEMA3B-mut-CM (D397H) is inactive as described in Materials and Methods and Results.
Significant increase as compared with SEMA3B-CM.
Anti-SEMA3B or anti-VEGF (30 μg/ml) antibody 2C3 was used as neutralizing agent for SEMA3B-CM and VEGF165, respectively.
Nonsignificant as compared with control.
Significant decrease when compared with cells treated with VEGF121.
Nonsignificant as compared with VEGF165.
Significant decrease as compared with VEGF165 plus SEMA3B-CM.
