Culture medium of trophoblast cell colony on the fibroblast feeder layer or in the absence of feeder cells was changed to DMEM (+FBS) containing dye-quenched (DQ) collagen (50-fold dilution) (Invitrogen, USA) [14 (link),15 (link)]. After incubation for 2 h, the cell colonies were once washed with DMEM (−FBS). And the medium was changed to DMEM (−FBS) containing 4 to 40 μM of 12-KETE. Chromatic images were observed using a fluorescence microscope (IX70; OLYMPUS, Japan).
