Figure 5From: ST6Gal-I expression in ovarian cancer cells promotes an invasive phenotype by altering integrin glycosylation and function A, Haptotactic migration toward collagen I. P, EV, and ST6 cells were serum starved for 48 hours. Cells were then seeded in serum-free media into the upper wells of Boyden chambers lined with 8.0 μm PET membranes coated on the underside with a collagen I. The lower chambers contained conditioned NIH3T3 media as a chemoattractant. Cells were allowed to migrate for 14 hours, and cell migration was quantified using the vendor's protocol. B, Invasion of OV4 cells through Matrigel-coated transwells. P, EV, and ST6 cells were serum starved for 48 hours, and then seeded into the upper wells of Boyden chambers lined with Matrigel-coated 8.0 μm PET membranes. The lower chambers contained condition NIH3T3 media as a chemoattractant. Cells were allowed to invade for 48 hours and invasion was quantified using the vendor's protocol. Data represent means and SEMs of three independent experiments run in triplicate. * denotes P < 0.01, evaluated by ANOVA.Back to article page
