Over-expression of MEGF11 increased the upregulation of chemokines and proinflammatory cytokine gene expression. Following ingenuity pathway analysis (a), the expressions of chemokines including CCL20, CXCL2, CXCL5 and IL-17A in the o/e MEGF11 MDA-MB-231 line (b,c) and MDA-MB-468 cells (d) were analysed by Western blot (n = 5) and quantified using wild type as a control group. The mRNA transcripts of chemokines including CCL20, CXCL2, CXCL5 (e), and cytokines including TNF-α, IL1β, IL-6, IL-8 and COX2 (f) were quantified with real-time PCR. Asterisks indicate a p value <0.05 in o/e MEGF11 TNBC cells compared to the scramble group by Mann-Whitney U or Student’s t test (n = 3–4).
