A The immunoreactivity of CD163 was assessed by IHC analysis. B Kaplan–Meier curves for overall survival of GC patients. C The correlation between CD163 and POU1F1 in GC was determined by Pearson correlation analysis. D Cell surface CD14, CD11b, F4/80, and CD11c expression were analyzed by flow cytometry. E Cell viability of macrophages was monitored by CCK-8 assay. F Cell migration of macrophages was determined by transwell migration assay. The mRNA (G) and protein (H) levels of CD163 and CD206 were detected by qRT-PCR and western blot, respectively. CD11b served as an internal control. (I) The immunoreactivity of CD31 was assessed by IHC analysis. J The correlations between CD31 and CD163 in GC were determined by Pearson correlation analysis. K Cell viability of HUVECs was monitored by CCK-8 assay. L In vitro angiogenesis was monitored by tube formation assay. M The protein level of VEGF was determined by western blot. GAPDH served as a loading control. Data were representative images or were expressed as the mean ± SD of n = 3 experiments. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
