Transwell co-culture of breast cancer cells with obASCs increases expression of metastatic genes. a TNBC cell line BT20 gene expression was screened for changes in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), inflammatory, and cancer stem cell (CSC) genes after 96-h of transwell co-culture (shown in heat map). b Serpine1, TWIST1, and SNAI2 were evaluated across four cell lines: BT20, HCC1806, MCF7, and TU-BcX-2 K1 PDX-derived cells. Values reported are the mean of three independent experiments each performed in triplicate. Bars, ± SEM. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
