Figure Lengend Snippet: Inhibition of integrin α2β1 enhances the therapeutic effects of chemotherapy/radiotherapy on osteosarcoma. ( A ) Cytotoxicity of PBS, IFO (2 mg/kg, 48 hours), and IFO (2 mg/kg, 48 hours) combined with α2β1 integrin ligand peptide (0.5 mg/kg, 48 hours) to Saos-2 and MG-63 cells. ( B ) Cytotoxicity of PBS, radiotherapy (0.5Gy) and radiotherapy (0.5Gy) combined with α2β1 integrin ligand peptide (0.5 mg/kg, 48 hours) to Saos-2 and MG-63 cells. ( C ) The presentative image and tumor volume of Saos-2-bearing mice treated with PBS, IFO (2 mg/kg, 48 hours), α2β1 integrin ligand peptide (0.5 mg/kg, 48 hours) and IFO combined with α2β1 integrin ligand peptide. The scale bar is 0.5 cm. ( D ) The survival time of Saos-2-bearing mice treated with PBS, IFO (2 mg/kg, 48 hours), α2β1 integrin ligand peptide (0.5 mg/kg, 48 hours) and IFO combined with α2β1 integrin ligand peptide. ( E ) Tumor volumes of Saos-2-bearing mice treated with PBS, α2β1 integrin ligand peptide (0.5 mg/kg, 48 hours), radiotherapy (0.5Gy), radiotherapy combined with α2β1 integrin ligand peptide. ( F ) the survival time of Saos-2-bearing mice treated with PBS, α2β1 integrin ligand peptide (0.5 mg/kg, 48 hours), radiotherapy (0.5Gy), radiotherapy combined with α2β1 integrin ligand peptide. *Indicates P <0.05, **Indicates P <0.01.
Article Snippet: After 37°C incubation for 2 hours, the collagen mixtures became solid and cancer cells were seeded on the 2D collagen gel for 2D cells culture. α2β1 Integrin Ligand Peptide and STAT3 inhibitor FLLL32 were purchased from Med Chem Express (NJ, USA).
