Activated HSC-secreted IL-6 confers the SN38 resistance to hypoxic tumor cells. (A) Cell viability assays with LoVo and HCT116 at 48 h after co-culture with the HSC medium or aHSC medium, and 80 nM of SN38 with or without 100 μM of CoCl2. (B) Flow cytometric analysis of the apoptosis in LoVo and HCT116 cells after 48 h of the indicated treatment. (C) Western blot analysis of the expression level of Bcl-2 and Bax in LoVo and HCT116 cells after 48 h post-treatment. (D) Cell viability assays with LoVo and HCT116 after the co-culture with the HSC medium or aHSC medium and CoCl2, SN38 and IL-6 neutralizing antibodies. (E) Flow cytometry analysis of the apoptosis in LoVo and HCT116 cells after 48 h of the indicated treatment. (F) Western blot analysis of the expression level of Bcl-2 and Bax in LoVo and HCT116 cells after 48 h of the indicated treatment. N=3; ns, no significant difference; *P<0.05; **P<0.001.
