A The mRNA level of CXCL12 was determined by qRT-PCR. GAPDH served as an internal control. B The correlation between CXCL12 and POU1F1 in GC was determined by Pearson correlation analysis. C The correlations between CXCL12 and CD206, CD163, CCR2, or CD204 in GC were determined by Pearson correlation analysis. D Cell migration of macrophages was determined by transwell migration assay. E In vitro angiogenesis was monitored by tube formation assay. F The mRNA levels of CD163 and VEGFA were determined by qRT-PCR. GAPDH served as an internal control. G The protein levels of p-CXCR4, CXCR4, p-Akt, Akt, p-VEGFR2, and VEGFR2 were 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, ***P < 0.001.
