Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A–D ) Representative Western blot analysis showing increased PD-L1 protein levels in mouse (CMT167, LLC) and human (A549, H1299) cells after PPP2R2A KO, with quantification from biological replicates. ( E–G ) PD-L1 induction by PPP2R2A KD is dependent on GSK-3β phosphorylation. ( H–I ) qPCR of PD-L1 mRNA in human and mouse cells. ( J–M ) PD-L1 upregulation by PPP2R2A KD requires STING in CMT167 and A549 cells. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, **** P < 0.0001. Data are reported as mean ± SD ( n = 3). ( B and H ) A Student t test was used for the data analysis. ( D , I , K and M ) Statistical analysis was conducted using 1-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test for multiple comparisons. shcon, short hairpin RNA control.
Article Snippet: After 9 days, mice were randomized to 1 of the following treatment groups: control (rat IgG2b in vivo isotype control, 100 μg/dose; ICH2243, clone 1-2, Ichorbio); α-PD-L1 alone (anti-mouse PD-L1 in vivo antibody, 100 μg/dose; ICH1086, clone 10F.9G2, Ichorbio), α-PD-L1 + α-CD4 (anti mouse CD4, 200 μg/dose, BP0003, Clone:GK1.5, BioXcell); α-PD-L1 plus α-CD8 (anti-mouse CD8, 200 μg/dose; BP0004, clone 53-6.7, BioXcell); α-PD-L1 plus α-CD4/8 (anti-CD4 plus anti-CD8 antibodies, 200 μg/dose for each antibody); and α-PD-L1 plus α-NK (anti-mouse NK1.1, 200 μg/dose; BP0036, clone PK136, BioXcell).
