Figure 3. The inhibitory effect of MSCs on MDS cell proliferation is decreased when MMP1 is knocked down.

Figure 3

The RNAi efficiency of MMP1 in MSCs was assayed by (a) qPCR and (b) western blotting before co-culture with MDS cells. MMP1 shRNA (both sh1 and sh2) decreased MMP1 expression of MSCs. (c) The percentage of MDS cells in S phase was evaluated by the EdU assay after co-culture with MMP1-KD MSCs (MMP1-sh1 MSCs and MMP1-sh2 MSCs) or negative MSCs (transfected with control lentiviruses) for 72 h. (d) The percentage of apoptotic MDS cells was assayed by Annexin V/PI dual staining after co-culture with MMP1-KD MSCs or negative MSCs for 72 h. (Data represent the mean ± SEM from at least three independent experiments. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001).
