Figure Lengend Snippet: IFN-γ can be detected ex vivo after treatment with VVLΔTK-STCΔN1L-mIL21. ( A–D ) The secretion of IFN-γ from CD45 + cells isolated from the spleens of virus-treated mice after incubation with CT26 cells, KRAS peptide, GP70 peptide and B8R peptide. IFN-γ production in the supernatant was determined using an ELISA. The mean±SEM is shown and a one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison post-test was used to assess significance. (n=3–4 mice/group/time point) *p<0.05,**p<0.01, ***p<0.001,****p<0.0001. ( E–F ) Correlation analysis between IFN-γ (IFNG) expression and the abundance of activated CD8 + T cells and CD8 + T EM cells in COAD samples. The X-axis represents IFN-γ expression levels, while the Y-axis indicates the number of activated CD8 + T cells and CD8 + T EM cells. ( G ) Based on the datasets from the TCGA, the disease-free survival curves of patients with COAD and patients with READ with different IFN-γ expression levels were plotted using GEPIA. ( H ) t-SNE plots of immune cell subsets in 371,223 cells from tumor and adjacent normal tissues of 28 patients with MMR-p and 34 MMR-d colorectal cancer. ( I ) Dot plot showing the percentage of IFN-γ-positive expressing cells and CD8A-positive expressing cells in the corresponding immune cell subsets mentioned above. ANOVA, analysis of variance; COAD, colon adenocarcinoma; IFN, interferon; MMR-d, mismatch repair-deficient; MMR-p, mismatch repair-proficient; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline; READ, rectum adenocarcinoma; TCGA, the cancer genome atlas; T EM , effector memory T cell; t-SNE, t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding.
