Figure 1
Figure 1 Effect of stromal cell-derived factor-1 on proliferation of gastric cancer cells. Gastric cancer cells were grown in serum-free medium with or without the indicated doses of stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1). SDF-1 significantly increased the number of SGC-7901 and MGC-803 cells. Maximum effect was observed with 10 nmol/L SDF-1 (aP < 0.05).

Figure 2 Effect of stromal cell-derived factor-1 on migration of gastric cancer cells. Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) stimulated migration of cancer cells. Maximum effect was observed at 10 nmol/L of SDF-1 (aP < 0.05).
Figure 3
Figure 3 Effect of AMD3100 on stromal cell-derived factor-1-stimulated migration of gastric cancer cells. Gastric cancer cells were stimulated by stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) at 10 nmol/L and various concentrations of AMD3100. Cell migration was decreased as the concentration of AMD3100 increased (aP < 0.05).

Figure 4 Expression of CXC chemokine receptor-4 in gastric carcinoma tissues and stromal cell-derived factor-1 in lymph nodes. A: CXC chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR4) protein was detected by immunohistochemistry in primary gastric carcinoma tissues; B: CXCR4 protein was not detected in normal mucous membrane; C: Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) protein was detected by immunohistochemistry in lymph nodes with gastric cancer cell metastasis; D: SDF-1 protein was not detected in normal lymph nodes (400 ×).
