Article Title: An alternatively spliced STING isoform localizes in the cytoplasmic membrane and directly senses extracellular cGAMP
doi: 10.1172/JCI144339
Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) The effect of cGAMP on the viability of B16 cells cocultured with or without splenocytes from WT or STING-deficient mice ( Tmem173 gt ) was assessed by MTT assay ( n = 3). ** P < 0.01, by 2-tailed, paired Student’s t test. ( B ) Expression of CD69 in WT or Tmem173 gt splenocytes treated with vehicle or cGAMP was detected by flow cytometry. ( C ) Expression of CD69 in WT or Tmem173 gt NK cells treated with vehicle or cGAMP was detected by flow cytometry. ( D ) Expression of CD86 in WT or Tmem173 gt myeloid cells treated with vehicle or cGAMP was detected by flow cytometry. ( E ) Expression of p-TBK1 and p-IRF3 was detected by Western blotting in WT or Tmem173 gt splenocytes treated with vehicle, cGAMP, or DMXAA, respectively. ( F ) Production of IFN-β in WT or Tmem173 gt splenocytes treated with vehicle or cGAMP was detected by ELISA ( n = 3). ** P < 0.01, by 2-tailed, paired Student’s t test. ( G ) Production of IFN-β in WT splenocytes treated with different concentrations of cGAMP, c-di-GMP, or DMXAA was detected by ELISA ( n = 3). * P < 0.05, by 2-way ANOVA. Data are presented as the mean ± SD.
Article Snippet: After blocking with 5% BSA at room temperature for 1 hour, membranes were incubated with the following primary antibodies: anti–STING rabbit polyclonal antibody (19851-1-AP, Proteintech) diluted at 1:600, anti–mouse TBK1 antibody (ab40676, Abcam) diluted at 1:1000; anti–mouse phosphorylated TBK1 (p-TBK1) (Ser172) antibody (ab109272, Abcam) diluted at 1:500; anti–mouse IRF3 rabbit polyclonal antibody (11312-1-AP, Proteintech) diluted at 1:1000; anti–mouse p–IRF-3 (Ser396) rabbit mAb (29047, Cell Signaling Technology) diluted at 1:1000; anti–mouse cGAS antibody (ab252416, Abcam) diluted at 1:1000; anti–mouse SLC19A1 antibody (25958-1-AP, Proteintech) diluted at 1:1000; and anti–GAPDH mouse mAb (60004-1-Ig, Proteintech) diluted at 1:1000.
