Figure 5From: Gastric cancer cell supernatant causes apoptosis and fibrosis in the peritoneal tissues and results in an environment favorable to peritoneal metastases, in vitro and in vivo Western blot analysis of apoptosis-related protein levels (caspase-3, caspase-8, Bax, and bcl-2) in HPMCs with SF-CM from different gastric cancer cell lines treatment. Serum-starved HPMCs were incubated with SF-CM from different gastric cancer cell lines for up to 48 h; total cellular protein was extracted and subjected to western blot analysis.Back to article page
