CAF-CM increases HOTAIR expression in tumor cells in vitro. (A) HOTAIR expression in human NSCLC A549 and H1299 cell lines treated with CAF-CM or NF-CM was determined by qPCR. HOTAIR expression in human NSCLC A549 and H1299 cell lines treated with CAF-CM and (B) CCL5 neutralizing antibody or (C) CCR5 inhibitor (Met-RANTES) was determined by qPCR. ***P<0.001 and ****P<0.0001 vs. control; ##P<0.01 and ###P<0.001 vs. CAF-CM. Results were expressed as the mean ± SD, and the means were calculated from ≥3 independent experiments. qPCR, quantitative PCR; CAF, cancer-associated fibroblast; NF, normal fibroblast; CM, conditioned medium; CCL5, C-C motif chemokine ligand 5; CCR5, C-C motif chemokine receptor 5; NSCLC, non-small cell lung cancer; HOTAIR, HOX transcript antisense RNA.
