Both A-CM and U-CM down-regulated the expression of anti-apoptosis proteins (BCL2 and MCL1) in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. (A) Expression level of MCL1 and BCL2 protein in MCF-7 cells, after co-culture with A-CM or U-CM for 48 h. (B,C) Expression level of BCL2 and MCL1 protein in MDA-MB-231 cells, after co-culture with A-CM or U-CM for 48 h. (* indicates P<0.05; NC: means natural control group, which were treated with free DMEM/F12). ADSCs, adipose-derived stem cells; UMSCs, umbilical mesenchymal stem cells; A-CM, ADSCs-related medium; U-CM, UMSCs-related medium; DMEM, Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium.
