Figure Lengend Snippet: In vivo primary tumor infiltration by neutrophils and CD4+ and CD8+ T cells for EZH2 KO and EZH2 OE compared to parent WT 4T1 cells. ( A ) Flow cytometry strategy for gating of infiltrating leukocyte subsets in 4T1 WT, EZH2 KO, and EZH2 OE primary tumors, with sequential steps 1 (leukocytes), 2 (live cells), 3 (singlets), 4 (granulocytes, including mature neutrophils, immature neutrophils, and eosinophils), 5 (non-granulocytes), 6 (T cells), and 7 (CD4+ and CD8+). ( B ) Relative percentages of infiltrating neutrophils and CD4+ and CD8+ cells among live leukocytes (top), and ratios between these subsets (bottom) in 4T1 WT (black circles), EZH2 KO (blue squares), and EZH2 OE (red triangles) primary tumors. Comparisons between groups are by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test and shown as * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01.
Article Snippet: For KO plasmids, the murine EZH2 sequences from AOI-WT-Cas9-sq-mouse Ezh2-E18-GFP and AOI-WT-Cas9-sq-mouse Ezh2-E10-GFP (Addgene #91880 and Addgene #91879; gift from Martine Roussel [ ]) were cloned into pSPCas9(BB)-2A-Puro (Addgene #62988; gift from Feng Zhang [ ]).
