Figure Lengend Snippet: Smart RNA sequencing reveals the mechanism of stress regulated CD8 + T cell function. a Isolation process of CD8 + T cells from mice tumors. b Differential genes of CD8 + T cells in tumors of the control (Con) and acute stress (AR) mice (n = 3) (|Log 2 (Fold change)| ≥ 1 and p < 0.05). c KEGG analysis of differential genes of CD8 + T cells and the most significant 20 enriched pathways are displayed ( p < 0.05). d GSEA analysis of differential genes of CD8 + T cells and the most significant 20 enriched pathways are displayed ( p < 0.05). Detect the mRNA expression levels of Plcg1 e , Prkcq f , Tec g , Grap2 h , Rasgrp1 i , Ppp3cc j , Mapk11 k and Mapk14 l in CD8 + T cells among DMSO, COR and COR+RU486 treatment groups using qRT-PCR (n = 3). Data are represented as the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 and **** p < 0.0001 by one-way ANOVA e – l
Article Snippet: CD8 (TIL) Micro Beads (130–116-478, Miltenyi Biotec) were used to sort CD8 + T cells from tumor tissues according to the instructions and verify their purity through flow cytometry.
