Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Representative IHC staining of ITGB3 in PDAC tissue microarrays (TMA) showing varying expression levels in non-cancer and cancer tissue sections. (B). High magnification IHC images demonstrating the expression of ITGB3 on normal pancreas and cancer cells with stromal regions. (D-I) . Scatter plots depicting the correlation between ITGB3 and key tumor-associated markers such as HIF-1α (D) , GLUT-1 (E) , VEGFA (F) , Vimentin (G) , COL1A1 (H) , and PECAM1 (I) . Pearson correlation coefficients (R) and p -values indicate statistically significant positive correlation between ITGB3 and these markers. Statistical significance was assessed using a two-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test. All quantitative data represent the mean ± SEM. ∗∗∗∗p < 0.0001.

Article Snippet: To evaluate the role of ITGB3 in PDAC, we analyzed its expression using IHC in a human PDAC tissue array (PA483-L97, Biomax) that contains 40 cancer and eight non-cancer tissues ( Supplementary Table 1 ).

Representative IHC analysis of STING using a human PDAC tissue array (scale bar, 100 μm). ( b ) Percentages of the indicated groups in 40 PDAC samples. ( c ) Co-immunofluorescence staining for α-SMA (red) and STING (green) in STING positive or weakly positive or negative in stroma. ( d ) 5-AZA (0.1 nM) was administered to CAF1 and CAF2 derived from murine PDACs and incubated for 24 h.

Article Title: Pancreatic cancer cells upregulate LPAR4 in response to isolation stress to promote an ECM-enriched niche and support tumor initiation

doi: 10.1038/s41556-022-01055-y

Figure Lengend Snippet: a, Immunohistochemistry staining of LPAR4 in a PDAC tissue array consisted of 15 PDAC samples and 4 samples of normal pancreas. Scale bar is 50 μM. Representative images showing normal pancreas (n=4 biological samples), low-LPAR4 PDAC (n=9 biological samples), and high-LPAR4 PDAC (n=6 biological samples). Bar graph shows the relative percentage of LPAR4-low and LPAR4-high patients in the PDAC tissue array. b, Quantitative RT-PCR confirming the manipulation of LPAR4 expression in 2 pancreatic cancer cell lines (Colo-357, MIA PaCa-2) and 2 patient-derived cancer cells (79E, 34E). Data were shown as mean ± s.d. (n=4 independent experiments for Colo-357 and 79E cells with LPAR4 stable knockdown, n=3 for Colo-357, 79E, and MiaPaCa2 cells with LPAR4 ectopic expression, n=3 for 34E cells with LPAR4 stable knockdown, and n=4 for 34E with LPAR4 ectopic expression). c, Non-invasive Bioluminescence images showing tumors formed at day 10 for Colo-357+sh-CTRL+luciferase or Colo-357+sh-R4.1+luciferase of various number implanted in the pancreas of nu/nu mice. Right panel showing the luminescence intensity in a blue-to-red spectrum. d, f, Trypan blue exclusion assay showing the relative number of viable cells with or without LPAR4 expression manipulation grown in 10% serum and 2D at day 4 and day 7. e, Tumor growth rates for 1 million Colo-357 cells with or without LPAR4 expression manipulation in a subcutaneous tumor model. Data were presented as mean ± s.d. for n=8 independent samples for each group. g, Quantitative RT-PCR confirming the knockdown of LPAR1 in Colo-357 cells. h, Effects of LPAR1 knockdown using siRNA on 2D or 3D (methylcellulose sphere forming) cell growth. Data were presented as mean ± s.d. for n=3 independent experiments (d,f,g, and h). Statistical analyses were performed using two tailed unpaired one sample t-test (b,g, and h) and one-way ANOVA (d-f). Source numerical data are available in source data.

Article Snippet: Immunohistochemistry staining of LPAR4 or FN1 in human PDAC tissue array (US Biomax PA484a) or formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded xenograft tumors were performed using the LPAR4 antibody (Thermo Fisher, #PA5–49727) or FN1 antibody (CST, #26836, E5H6X) following the manufacturer’s protocol.
