Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) IL-2 quantification in supernatant of naïve CD4 T cells 48 h after α-CD3/α-CD28 stimulation, n = 4–5. (B, C, D, E) Histograms and quantification of up-regulated activation markers CD69 (B, C) and CD25 (D, E) in naïve CD4 T lymphocytes 48 h after stimulation. Cells were treated with 30 μM NS8593 or DMSO control, both with (Ctrl, blue; NS, orange) and without (Ctrl, black; NS, red) supplementation of 6 mM MgCl 2 . (F) IL-2 quantification in supernatant of total CD4 T cells 48 h after α-CD3/α-CD28 stimulation or cells treated with 30 μM NS8593 or DMSO control, both with (Ctrl, blue; NS, orange) and without (Ctrl, black; NS, red) supplementation of 6 mM MgCl 2 , n = 4–5. (G, H, I, J) Histograms and quantification of up-regulated activation markers CD69 (G, H) and CD25 (I, J) in total CD4 T lymphocytes 48 h after stimulation. Cells treated with either 30 μM NS8593 or DMSO control, both with (Ctrl, blue; NS, orange) and without (Ctrl, black; NS, red) supplementation of 6 mM MgCl 2 . (K) Representative TRPM7 I/V relationships of total CD4 T cells obtained via whole-cell patch clamp with Mg 2+ -free intracellular solution. Cells were treated with 10 μM Waixenicin A (WxA, green) or EtOH control (Ctrl, black). (L, M, N, O) Histograms and quantification of up-regulated activation markers CD69 (L, M) and CD25 (N, O) in total CD4 T lymphocytes 48 h after stimulation. Cells treated with 10 μM Waixenicin A or EtOH control, both with (Ctrl, blue; WxA, light green) and without (Ctrl, black; WxA, green) supplementation of 6 mM MgCl 2 , n = 7. (P) Representative histograms of dose-dependent proliferation (CSFE dye dilution) of total CD4 T cells in presence of various NS8593 concentrations, with (right) and without (left) supplementation of 6 mM MgCl 2 . Cells gated on T cell population, single cells and CD4 + T cells. Color code as in (Q). (Q) Respective quantification of NS8593 dose-dependent proliferation of total CD4 T cells, with and without supplementation of 6 mM MgCl 2 , corresponding to (P), n = 4–7. (R) Representative histograms of dose-dependent proliferation (CSFE dye dilution) of total CD4 T cells in presence of various Waixenicin A concentrations, with (right) and without (left) supplementation of 6 mM MgCl 2 . Cells gated on T cell population, single cells and CD4 + T cells. Color code as in (S). (S) Respective quantification of Waixenicin A dose-dependent proliferation of total CD4 T cells, with and without supplementation of 6 mM MgCl 2 , corresponding to (S), n = 4–8. (A, C, E, F, H, J, M, O, Q, S) Statistics: one-way ANOVA (A, C, E, F, H, J, M, O, Q, S). * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.005; *** P < 0.0005; **** P < 0.0001 and n.s., not significant. Data are mean ± SD.
