a Western blot analysis of the effects of IFN-γ or IFN-γ + 1-MT on the expression of IDO1, IDO2, and TDO in U87MG cells. b Migration and invasion assays of U87MG cells treated with IFN-γ or IFN-γ + 1-MT. c Western blot analysis of the expression of IDO1 in IDO1-overexpressing U87MG cells (OE-IDO1). d Western blot analysis of the expression of TDO in TDO-overexpressing (OE-TDO) or TDO-knockdown (si-TDO) U87MG cells. e Migration and invasion assays of IDO1- or TDO-overexpressing U87MG cells. f Migration and invasion assays of TDO-knockdown U87MG cells. g Migration and invasion assays of U87MG cells treated with Kyn. h Migration and invasion assays of U87MG cells treated with IFN-γ + 1-MT or IFN-γ + 1-MT + Kyn. i Migration and invasion assays of si-TDO- or si-TDO + Kyn-treated U87MG cells. The designation of the different treatments is described in the Materials and methods section. Representative images and accompanying statistical plots are presented (magnification, ×200; scale bar, 100 μm). n = 3 per group. Statistical significance was determined by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s test (b, e) and Student's t test (fi). Data are presented as the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
