Detection of Human MMP-9 by Western Blot

Co-culture of THP1-derived and polarized macrophages with Panc89 hA8 WT and KO cells. (A) Western blot illustrates the detection of ADAM8, MMP-9, and LCN2 in Panc89 hA8 WT and KO control cells (Ø) and after co-culture with M0, M1, and M2 macrophages (two time points: 0 h and 1 h). ADAM8 is upregulated in Panc89 hA8 WT cells after co-culture with M2-polarized macrophages. Panc89 cells show the highest MMP-9 expression after co-culture with M0, but M1 macrophages also upregulate MMP-9. LCN2 is dependent on ADAM8 when upregulated in Panc89 cells after co-culture with M0 and M2 macrophages but independent of ADAM8 in Panc89 cells co-cultured with M1 macrophages. (B) ADAM8, (C) MMP-9, and (D) LCN2 ELISA of Panc89 hA8 WT and KO cell-derived supernatants of control cells and after co-culture with M0, M1, and M2 (two time points: 0 h and 1 h). In accordance with the immunoblot results of (A), ADAM8 is upregulated in supernatants derived from Panc89 hA8 WT cells after co-culture with M2 macrophages (B). At the same time, macrophages increase MMP-9 secretion from an undetectable level to almost 80,000 pg/mL in Panc89 hA8 WT and 60,000 pg/mL in Panc89 hA8 KO cells. M1 and M2 macrophages increase MMP-9 secretion of Panc89 independent of ADAM8, but not as high as in Panc89 cells co-cultured with M0. In contrast, LCN2 is upregulated in Panc89 hA8 WT cells by M0 and M1, but not by M2 macrophages. In the absence of ADAM8, Panc89 hA8 KO cells show low LCN2 secretion in control cells and after co-culture with M0 and M2 macrophages. Only after co-culture with M1 macrophages is the LCN2 secretion level increased (n = 1). Data are presented as mean values ± S.D.
