A MTT assay and colony formation assay of BGC-823 cells cocultured with macrophages or single cultures. Days = 8. B Transwell assays of stably transfected BGC-823 cells were performed, and the quantification of the results is presented. Days = 8. C Western blotting were used to determine MMP2 expression of macrophages in different coculture systems. Coculture time = 48 h. D ELISA were used to determine MMP2 secretion by macrophages. E Relative gene expression of MMP2 expression in macrophages was determined by RT-PCR. F ELISA were used to determine MMP2 secretion by macrophages at different cocultivation time points. G MTT assay of BGC-823 cells in different treatment coculture systems. H, I Colony formation assay of BGC-823 cells in different treatment coculture systems. Days = 8. J Western blotting was used to detect the expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin and Snail in gastric cancer in different treatment coculture systems. K Relative gene expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin and Snail in gastric cancer tissues was determined by RT-PCR. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
