Figure Lengend Snippet: LIS1 overexpression of HNSCC cells increases Schwann cells activity. ( A ) The pattern diagram of HNSCC cells co-cultured with SCs. ( B ) Transwell assay of sNF96.2 cells co-cultured with SCC25 cells. ( C ) The mRNA expression of PNI-related factors (BDNF, GDNF, NGF, MMP2, and MMP9) in sNF96.2 cells co-cultured with SCC25 cells were analyzed by RT-qPCR. ( D ) IF double staining was performed to detect the expression of S100 and GFAP in the sNF96.2 cells co-cultured with SCC25 cells. Data are represented as mean ± SEM, * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, **** P < 0.0001
Article Snippet: Human HNSCC cell line (SCC25) and human Schwann cells (sNF96.2) were acquired from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) in 2023.
