Expression of collagen in MCF7/MCR5 co-culture spheroids treated and non-treated with RT or TGF-β. (a) Scheme of the experiment. (b) Typical cryosections of T10 and T10F30 spheroids stained with Picro Sirius Red. Scale bars: 50 µm. (c) Cumulative quantitative analyses of collagen expression (Picro Sirius Red) in cryosections from (blue bar) monoculture T10 and (green bar) co-culture T10F30 spheroids. Data presented as mean ± SD [n = 3–10; *p < 0.05; ***p < 0.001 compared to monoculture spheroids, using two-sample t-test; ##p < 0.01 compared to control (no treatment) co-culture spheroids using ANOVA].
