Figure Lengend Snippet: 3Cxcl1-KO MSCs suppress RM1 growth in vitro and in vivo . A, RM1-luciferase cell proliferation measured via luciferase expression (RLU, Relative Light Units) following overnight coculture with an equal number of Cxcl1-KO sgRNA 2 or Scr. Ctrl. MSCs; ANOVA statistical analysis was performed. B, RM1 proliferation in response to Cxcl1-KO sgRNA 2 or Scr. Ctrl. MSC CM; graph shows cell count using trypan blue exclusion assay; ANOVA statistical analysis was performed at day 3. C, SA-AXL3 cell proliferation in response to Cxcl1-KO sgRNA 2 or Scr. Ctrl. MSC CM; graph shows cell count using trypan blue exclusion assay; ANOVA statistical analysis was performed at day 3 and each condition was compared with each. ***, P < 0.001 and comparing Scr. Ctrl. CM with SA AXL cells in serum-free media unless noted. **, P < 0.01. PCa, prostate cancer. D, qRT-PCR gene expression of RM1 Cxcr1 and Cxcr2 ; graph represents relative fold change of gene expression normalized to Hprt and Scr. Ctrl. MSCs; ANOVA statistical analysis was performed. E, Bioluminescence imaging of RM1-luciferase growth in an intratibial tumor model in C57BL/6 male mice co-injected Cxcl1-KO sgRNA 2 or Scr. Ctrl. MSCs ( n = 15/group; left), graph represents quantitation of bioluminescence imaging (right); two sample t test statistical analysis was performed at days 9, 11, and 14. F, X-ray of tumor-bearing tibias. Left, representative images and right, quantification of osteolytic pit area normalized to total bone marrow cavity area. G, Trichrome stain of tumor-bearing tibia: left, representative images (scale bar 500 μm) and right, quantification of staining normalized to marrow cavity area (top right); two-sample t test statistical analysis was performed.
