$a Immunofluorescence analysis showing efficient uptake of Alexa Fluor 488-labeled CitH3 (5 µg/mL) by wild-type (WT) BMDMs but not by Tlr2⁻/⁻ BMDMs. Cellular intensity of Alexa-488 was quantified ( n = 5). Statistical analysis was performed using two-sided, Unpaired t test with Welch’s correction. b Cytokine profiling of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators (IL-6, IL-1β, IL-10, TNFα, IFN-α, IFN-β) in supernatants of WT and Tlr2⁻/⁻ BMDMs treated with H3 or CitH3 peptides (15 µg/mL) for 16 h ( n = per group). LPS (200 ng/mL) served as positive control. Statistical analysis was performed using two-way ANOVA with Sidak’s multiple comparisons test. c Immunocytochemistry demonstrating nuclear translocation of PAD2 in BMDMs after 1 h exposure to CitH3 peptide (15 µg/mL). LPS (200 ng/mL) served as a positive control. PAD2 was stained with Alexa Fluor 488 (green), and nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). Quantification of PAD2 nuclear localization was analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test ( n = 3 per group). d Subcellular fractionation analysis confirming significant nuclear localization and citrullination of PAD2 in WT BMDMs following treatment with H3, CitH3, or LPS. Quantification was analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test ( n = per group). e In vitro citrullination assay showing MPB-tagged PAD2-mediated citrullination of H3 in a Ca²⁺-dependent manner. EGTA-mediated Ca²⁺ chelation eliminated CitH3 production. Similar results from three independent replicates. f In vitro citrullination assay showing PAD2 citrullination. PAD2 auto-citrullination was confirmed as His-tagged recombinant PAD2 co-incubated with MBP-tagged PAD2 resulted in PAD2 citrullination. PAD4 also promotes PAD2 citrullination. Quantification was performed by Image J, citrullination signals were normalized to corresponding input signals and further normalized to the matching EGTA-treated group in each replicate experiments. Statistical analysis was performed using two-sided t-test.Data are presented as mean ± SD. Statistical significance in all panels was determined as follows: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.$

Cells were washed three times prior to collection. And given that the CitH3 peptide is only ~30 amino acids in length, the bands observed at ~17 kDa are interpreted as endogenous cellular CitH3 protein detected at various time points. Similar results from three independent replicates. f Western blot analysis of citrullinated proteins in BMDMs from WT, Pad2⁻/⁻, and Pad2/4⁻/⁻ mice following 1 h treatment with 15 μg/mL CitH3 peptide.
