Modulation of cell adhesion and migration-related gene expression in astrocytoma cell lines after transient exposure to supernatants of HTLV-1-infected T cell lines. Astrocytoma cell lines (U251) were primed with supernatants from CIB (Ast-CIB) and CEM (Ast-CEM) T cells cultures. For Mock control, astrocytoma cells were treated with RPMI alone (Mock). After 1 h of exposure, cells were washed, harvested and RNA was extracted. Ast-CIB expressed statistically significant higher amounts of RNA for all illustrated genes as compared to Ast-CEM and Mock. Data derive from 3 independent experiments
