Figure 7. TMZ effects on the PGs expression and GAG content in the GB cell lines. (A and B) Expression of PG core proteins - CD44 and others (A) and all PGs except CD44 (B). RT-PCR analysis. (C) Immunofluorescence analysis for NG2/CSPG4 core protein and CS and HS content. Representative microphotographs of immunostaining with anti-NG2/CSPG4, anti-CS, and anti-HS antibodies (AlexaFluor 488). Magnification ×200, the scale bar for the micrographs is 100 µm. (D) Quantitative analysis - average fluorescence intensity calculated using MeanGrayValue (ImageJ). ANOVA + Fisher’s LSD test. CS: chondroitin sulfate; HS: heparan sulfate. * P < 0.05.
