Fig. 3From: RETRACTED ARTICLE: Genistein inhibits stemness of SKOV3 cells induced by macrophages co-cultured with ovarian cancer stem-like cells through IL-8/STAT3 axisEffects of depletion or addition of IL-8 combined with GEN on M2 polarization of THP-1 macrophages induced by co-culture. THP-1 macrophages were treated by depletion or addition of IL-8 Co-CM in the presence or absence of GEN. The levels of CD163 (a) and p-STAT3 (b) expression in THP-1 macrophages as well as the contents of IL-10 and IL-12 (c), NO (d) and in Co-CM induced by co-culture in depletion of IL-8 and GEN alone or combination were shown. The levels of CD163 (e) and p-STAT3 (f) expressions in THP-1 macrophages as well as the contents of IL-10 and IL-12 (g), NO (h) in Co-CM induced by co-culture by adding IL-8 and GEN alone or combination were shown. *P < 0.05, vs THP-1 macrophages treated with Co-CM. # P < 0.05, vs THP-1 macrophages treated with conditioned medium obtained from GEN (10.0 μM) treatment. These experiments were performed in triplicateBack to article page
