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.
