doi: 10.1002/advs.202506518
Figure Lengend Snippet: Tumor EVs shuttled CDC37 to DC endosomes to suppress antigen cross‐presentation. A,B) DCs were treated with EVs from TMB hi CTL hi or TMB hi CTL lo breat tumors, with or without the ERAD inhibitor Eeyarestatin I (EeyI). A) Representative flow cytometric plots and quantification of AnnexinV + PI − DCs after exogenous cytC treatment. B) Representative flow cytometric plots and quantification of GZMB + CD8 + T cells primed by DCs with indicated treatment. C,D) DCs were treated with PBS or EVs from TMB hi CTL lo ( n = 3) and TMB hi CTL hi ( n = 3) tumors, respectively. C) Heatmap displaying differentially expressed proteins in the endosomes of DCs with indicated treatment, determined by targeted mass spectrometry focusing on 18 proteins of interest, potentially related to ERAD in endosomes. Color scale, log 2 (fold change) normalized to endosome marker EEA1. D) Representative images of CDC37 expression in the endosomes and whole cell of DCs with indicated treatment, are shown by western blotting ( n = 3 independent experiments). Na/K ATPase was used as a marker of cell membrane protein and EEA1 was used as a marker of endosomes. MW, molecular weight. E) Representative images of immunofluorescence staining for CDC37 and RAB5 in TiDCs of TMB hi CTL lo ( n = 3) and TMB hi CTL hi ( n = 3) breast tumor patients. Scale bar, 5 µm. Quantification is shown in Figure (Supporting Information). F–I). DCs were transduced with control sgRNA (sgNC), sgRNAs targeting CDC37 (CDC37‐sg1, CDC37‐sg2) and then treated with EVs from TMB hi CTL lo ( n = 3) or TMB hi CTL hi ( n = 3) breast tumor, respectively. F) Representative immunofluorescence images of CDC37 and RAB5 co‐staining in DCs. Scale bar, 5 µm. Quantification is shown in Figure (Supporting Information). G) Cell apoptosis induced by endosome‐cytosol export of internalized cytC in DCs were determined by flow cytometry. Percentages of AnnexinV + PI − DCs are shown. H) Quantification of β‐lactamase activity represented by ratiometric values (450 nm: 535 nm) of CCF4 in DCs, determined by flow cytometry. I) DCs with indicated treatment were pulsed with tumor lysates and co‐cultured with autologous naive CD8 + T cells, respectively. Representative flow cytometric plots and quantification of the percentages of GZMB releasing CD8 + T cells. J) Representative images of CDC37 expression in tumor tissue, or in the supernatant and EV components of TCM from TMB hi CTL lo ( n = 3) and TMB hi CTL hi ( n = 3) breast cancer patients, are shown by western blotting ( n = 3 independent experiments). ALIX and CD81 represent the markers of EVs, and ponceau S represents total protein loading for normalization. K) Representative live imaging for GFP‐RAB5 overexpressing DCs treated with EVs of mCherry‐CDC37 overexpressing SKBR3 cancer cells during 21 min ( n = 3 independent experiments). Scale bar, 5 µm. Quantification of co‐localization of CDC37 and RAB5 at indicated time point is shown. Results are mean ± s.d. of independent experiments producing similar results. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, compared with TMB hi CTL lo group (A,B), DCs transduced with indicated sgRNA and treated with PBS (G‐I), or DCs without EV treatment (0 min) (K), were determined by two‐tailed Student's t test (A, B), or two‐tailed one‐way ANOVA with Dunnett's multiple‐comparisons test (G–I,K).
