doi: 10.1038/s41586-023-06299-8
Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 2 | Glutamine interplay between tumour cells and cDC1s modulates anti- tumour immunity. a–d, [3H]Thymidine (TdR) incorporation by OT-I (a,c,d) or OT-II (b) cells after coculture with cDC1s (n = 4 per group) pulsed with OVA in amino acid (AA)-replete medium (+AA) or medium lacking an individual amino acid (a,b), in culture supernatants derived from MC38 cells cultured in glutamine- free medium supplemented with indicated glutamine concentrations (c), or in MC38 culture supernatant supplemented with an individual amino acid (d). Arrows in a,b indicate fold change for +AA versus −Gln. e, CD86 and MHCII expression on BMDCs after 24 h of Transwell coculture with MC38 cells in medium containing 2 or 0.6 mM glutamine (n = 3 per group). MFI, mean fluorescence intensity. f, Expression of glutamine transporters in indicated mouse cell types (from GSE121861). NK cells, natural killer cells. g, Immunoblot analysis of SLC38A2 and β-actin in control and SLC38A2-deficient MC38 cells. h, Growth of control and SLC38A2-deficient MC38 tumours in wild-type mice (n = 10 per group). i,j, Indicated T cell populations (i) or IFNγ+, TNF+ or granzyme B+ (GZMB+) CD8+ T cells (j) from control and SLC38A2-deficient MC38 tumours at day 15
Article Snippet: Spleens were collected 10 days after tumour inoculation, and cDC1s were enriched using the CD8+ DC isolation kit (130-091-169, Miltenyi Biotec).
