Inhibition of CAF-mediated upregulation of Snail in PGC cells by a TRKB inhibitor. PGC cells were co-cultured with CAFs (a) or CM from PGC/CAF co-cultures (b) for 4 days in the presence or absence of a TRKB inhibitor, ANA-12 (10 μM). (a) Snail expression levels were examined using immunofluorescence analysis. Histogram shows the percentage of Snail-positive cells per field as the mean ± SEM. The percentage were calculated from more than 11 fields (at least 100 cells per field) of each group. PGC:PGC/CAF, direct-co-cultured PGC cells with CAFs. ***P < 0.001 (Tukey’s test). (b) Snail and E-cadherin expression levels were examined using WB analysis. The relative amounts of Snail are indicated as the ratio of each protein band relative to the loading control, β-actin. Scale bars, 50 μm.
