Figure 8. Cancer-secreted OPN induces MSC adoption of myCAF phenotype resulting in increased cancer stemness.

Figure 8

Co-culture of wild type MDA-MB-231 cells with human MSC cells and cancer stemness lacking MDA-MB-231(-/-sox2) cells with human MSC cells. Cancer stemness inhibitor BBI-608 was added as indicated (A,B) Cancer stemness markers Oct4/Nanog mRNA expression were quantified by real time PCR. (C,D) myCAF markers Vim/Ten-C mRNA expression were quantified by real time PCR.
