    Knockdown of LEF1 enhances immune response in mice. A and B, Immunofluorescence results and percentage of positive cells: the fluorescence intensity of PD-L1 in tumor tissues of sh-LEF1 group decreased. C and D, HE staining results and necrotic cell count showed that the proportion of cell necrosis in sh-LEF1 tumor tissue was decreased. E–H, ELISA results and content statistics showed that knockdown of LEF1 downregulated the contents of TGF-β1, IL-10, PD-L1, and CCL2 in sh-LEF1 tumor tissues. I–O, WB assay results and quantitative analysis showed decreased levels of total Notch1, NICD, Hes1, Hey1, and Jagged1 proteins in tumor tissues, and a decreased p-P65/P65 ratio (n = 6, * P <0.05).

Representative images of GFP fluorescence or K10 immunofluorescence are shown. The limit of the epidermis is indicated by a dotted line. Bar = 50 mm. A small area of the images surrounded by a frame is shown at higher magnification. ( h ) miR-30a-3p or miR-30a-5p transcript expression analysis by qRT-PCR in HPKs treated or not by DAPT (mean ± SD, n = 3, ∗ P < .05 t -test P -value). HCS, high-content screening; HPK, human primary keratinocyte; K10, keratin 10; RHE, reconstructed human epidermis.

    Analysis of Notch1 Expression and Subcellular Distribution in Luc-KD and Cav1-KD Cells. ( a ) Maximal projection of confocal images for Notch1 (in yellow), and nucleus (in blue) in Luc-KD and Cav1-KD cells in ALI 6. ( b ) Western blot images of Luc-KD and Cav1-KD cells showing Notch 1 (full-length at 300 kDa and cleaved at 120 kDa) and E-Cadherin expression. The lower Western blot image of Notch1 (300 kDa) in the panel shows a contrast-enhanced version of Notch1 region of interest (ROI) amplified to the entire image, derived from the original image with lower contrast shown in the upper part of the panel. Each condition was tested in triplicate (L1, L2, and L3 for each genotype). Cell lysates (L) were derived from an independent cell culture. β-actin was used as a loading control. ( c – e ) Relative protein expression levels quantification of Notch1 300 kDa ( c ), Notch1 120 kDa ( d ) and E-Cadherin ( e ). Mean and standard deviation as error bars were plotted, n = 3 independent lysates per group. ( f ) Analyses of Notch 1 full-length and processed forms (TMD+NICD and NICD) subcellular distribution in the cytosol (Cyt.), membrane (Mem.), and chromatin (Chr.) in Luc-KD and Cav1-KD cells. Cell fractionation and gradient SDS-Gels were used for improved resolution. ( g ) Relative protein expression quantification of Notch 1 subcellular distribution in Luc-KD and Cav1-KD cells. Mean and standard deviation as error bars were plotted, n = 4 independent lysates per group. ( h ) Proposed working model of the mechanism by which Cav-1 regulates BSC differentiation, involving differential NICD binding capacity to chromatin together with other partners. Scale bar in panel a represent 20 μm. p-values in all conditions were obtained using two-tailed t-test (*** represents p < 0.001, ** represents p < 0.01 and n.s. means no significative differences).
