Figure Lengend Snippet: VEGFR2 Y1173 heterozygosity is accompanied by decreased tumor endothelial PLCγ/SHP2 signaling and tumor vascular leakage (A) Representative immunostaining images of Vegfr2 +/+ (WT) and Vegfr2 Y1173F/+ (Y1173F/+) B16F10 melanoma tumors, showing vessels (IB4; red), pSHP2 Y542 (yellow), and fibrinogen (green). (B and C) Quantification of MFI from (A), shown as fold change over WT. (B) MFI for pSHP2 Y542. (C) MFI for fibrinogen; n = 5 (WT) and 3 (Y1173F/+) mice, ≥3 fields of view/mouse. (D) Representative immunostaining images of Vegfr2 +/+ (WT) and Vegfr2 Y1173F/+ (Y1173F/+) B16F10 melanoma tumors, showing vessels (CD31; red), pVEC Y731 (green), and CD45 (cyan). (E and F) Quantification of MFI from (D), displayed as fold change of WT. (E) MFI for pVEC Y731. (F) MFI for CD45 + cells (F); n = 5 (WT) and 3 (Y1173F/+), ≥3 fields of view/mouse. Scale bars: 100 μm. (G) Representative immunostaining images of WT and Plcg1 iECKO B16F10 melanoma tumors, showing vessels (IB4; red), pSHP2 Y542 (yellow), and fibrinogen (green). (H and I) MFI quantifications from (G), shown as fold change of WT. (H) MFI for pSHP2 Y542. (I) MFI for fibrinogen; n = 7 (WT) and 7 ( Plcg1 iECKO ), ≥3 fields of view/mouse. Unpaired 2-tailed Student’s t test. Data represent the mean ± SD. ∗, p < 0.05; ∗∗, p < 0.01; ∗∗∗, p < 0.001. MFI, mean fluorescence intensity. See also .
