Figure Lengend Snippet: Cellular mechanisms of resistance to sarcoma growth in IL1R2-deficient mice. A and B, FS6 tumor growth curve (left) or primary tumor volume at the time of sacrifice (right) in Il1r2 +/+ ( n = 24), Il1r2 −/− ( n = 23), Csf3r −/− ( n = 22), and Il1r2 −/− /Csf3r −/− ( n = 19) mice ( A ) and analysis by FACS of neutrophil frequency on CD45 + cells in the spleen and tumor of sarcoma-bearing mice expressing Il1r2 +/+ ( n = 7), Il1r2 −/− ( n = 5), Csf3r −/− ( n = 6), and Il1r2 −/− /Csf3r −/− ( n = 4; B ). C–E, FS6 tumor volume ( C–E ) and growth curve ( E ) in Il1r2 +/+ and Il1r2 −/− mice treated with anti-CD8 and/or anti-NK1.1 ( C, n = 9 Il1r2 +/+ mice + ctrl IgG, n = 9 Il1r2 +/+ mice + anti-CD8, n = 8 Il1r2 −/− mice + ctrl IgG, and n = 6 Il1r2 −/− mice + anti-CD8; D, n = 8 Il1r2 +/+ mice + ctrl IgG, n = 9 Il1r2 +/+ mice + anti-NK1.1, n = 8 Il1r2 −/− mice + ctrl IgG, and n = 7 Il1r2 −/− mice + anti-NK1.1; E, n = 7 Il1r2 +/+ mice + ctrl IgG, n = 8 Il1r2 +/+ mice + anti–CD8–NK1.1, n = 6 Il1r2 −/− mice + ctrl IgG, and n = 6 Il1r2 −/− mice + anti–CD8–NK1.1). F and G, FS6 tumor growth curve in Il1r2 +/+ and Il1r2 −/− mice treated with anti–PD-1 ( F ) or anti-IFNγ ( G ; F, n = 5 Il1r2 +/+ mice + ctrl IgG, n = 6 Il1r2 +/+ mice + anti–PD-1, n = 6 Il1r2 −/− mice + ctrl IgG, and n = 7 Il1r2 −/− mice + anti–PD-1; G, n = 5 Il1r2 +/+ mice + ctrl IgG, n = 8 Il1r2 +/+ mice + anti-IFNγ, n = 7 Il1r2 −/− mice + ctrl IgG, and n = 9 Il1r2 −/− mice + anti-IFNγ). H and I, FS6 primary tumor volume in WT ( n = 16), Il1r2 −/− ( n = 5), and Il1r1 −/− ( n = 7) mice ( H ) and analysis by FACS of neutrophil frequency on CD45 + cells in the blood, spleen, and tumor of WT ( n = 10), Il1r2 −/− ( n = 5), and Il1r1 −/− ( n = 5) sarcoma-bearing mice ( I ). J, FS6 tumor growth curve in Il1r2 −/− mice treated with vehicle ( n = 9) or anakinra ( n = 11). Mean ± SEM. Three pooled experiments ( A ) and one experiment ( B–J ) performed. Experiments of panels H and I were performed using a pool of commercial and littermate WT mice that showed similar tumor growth and neutrophil frequency. P values determined by two-way ANOVA [ A and E (left), F–H , and J ] or two-tailed Mann–Whitney U test [ A and E (right), B–D , and I ]. ns, not statistically significant; *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; ****, P < 0.0001.
