s-CXCL16-mediated effects on proliferation and rescue from apoptosis. a 10 nM s-CXCL16 and 1 μg/ml αCXCL16 promote the proliferation of slowly growing human meningioma cells as measured by MTT activity assay. EGF (10 ng/ml) served as positive control. Control values were set 100 %, and shown are three independent experiments with cultures from different donors, with mean ± SD from 4 technical replicates. b When apoptosis was induced in human primary meningioma cells by 50 μg/ml camptothecin (Campto = 100 %), additional incubation with 10 nM CXCL16 could drastically reduce the caspase-3 activity. Shown are three independent experiments with cultures from different donors
