Figure Lengend Snippet: L598 is a PTPN1/2 dual inhibitor that enhances CTL responses against cancer cells (A) Molecular structure of L598, a phosphotyrosine mimetic inhibitor of PTPN1 and PTPN2. (B) Flow cytometric analysis of OT-1-induced cytotoxicity with increasing concentrations of L598 (2, 5, and 10 μM). E.G7 target cells were labeled with cell trace CFSE, and viability was assessed with the Life/Death UV450 staining. (C) Dot plot of the cytotoxicity induced by OT-1 cells at different effector-to-target ratios and concentrations of L598 (CD8 + :E.G7). (D) Flow cytometric analysis of naive (Tn, CD62L + , CD44 − ), central memory (Tcm, CD62L + , CD44 + ), and effector (Teff, CD62L − , CD44 + ) subpopulations gated on live CD8 + T cells after 4 days of expansion. (E) Stacked bar graph of central memory (Tcm) and effector subset (Teff) proportions within CD8 + T cells from (D). (F) Flow cytometric analysis of human naive (Tn, CD62L + , CD45RO − ), central memory (Tcm, CD62L + , CD45RO + ), and effector memory (Tem, CD62L − , CD45RO + ) subpopulations gated on live CD8 + T cells after 7 days of expansion. (G) Bar plot of the proportion of human CD8 Tcm (central memory) and Teff (effector) with increasing concentration of PTPN1/2 inhibitor L598 from (G). Data representative of n = 3 biological replicates (mice) for N2KO, N2KO/N1HET, dKO, and L598. Data representative of n = 2 biological replicates for N1KO (mice) and (G and H) human peripheral blood mononuclear cell donors. (H) Flow cytometric analysis of IFN-γ and TNF-α production in human T cells expanded and stimulated with anti-CD3/CD28. (I) Bar chart of the frequency of INF-γ- and TNF-α-positive T cells within the Tem (CD62L − , CD45RO + ) and Tcm (CD62L + , CD45RO + ) subsets. Data representative of two independent biological replicates/donors. Data representative of at least three independent experiments or biological replicates (mice). Error bars represent mean ± SEM. Statistical analysis: (C, E, G) two-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparison test. ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001.
