The effect of SB203580 treatment in fibronectin expression in 3D-grown cells. (A) Phosphorylation of p38MAPK and MAPKMAP2 increases in MDA-MB-231 parental and organotropic metastasis derivatives in 3D suspension culture for 48 hours. The same volume of the set of cell lysates were loaded into different SDS-page gels. The blots of phosphorylated MAPKAPK and p38MAPK were cropped from the same gel and the other blots were cropped from different gels. (B) SB203580 was added as serial concentrations in 3D culture media and changes in fibronectin protein expression were monitored after cells were cultivated for 48 hours in 3D. The same volume of the set of cell lysates was loaded into different gels and p-p38 MAPK and MAPKAPK were cropped from the same gel. The other blots were cropped from different gels. (C) MDA-MB-231 parental and LM2 cells were treated with the p38 MAPK inhibitor, SB203580 for 48 hours and formation of cell-spheroids was observed. Scale bar: 100 μm.
