Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunosuppressive molecule, cytokine, and chemokine levels in HGSC CAFs after coculture with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). (A) Real‐time PCR expression analysis of immunosuppressive molecules ( IDO1 , COX2 , and PD‐L1 ) in CAFs with or without activated PBMC coculture. PBMCs were stimulated with anti‐CD3 antibody (OKT3) (15 ng·mL −1 ) for 5 days. (B) Real‐time PCR expression analysis of cytokine ( IL6 , CCL2 , CCL5 , CCL7 , and CCL8 ) and chemokine ( CXCL1 , CXCL5 , CXCL8 , CXCL9 , CXCL10 , CXCL11 , and CXCL12 ) levels in CAFs. Gene expression was calculated using the 2 −ΔΔCt method, with CAFs cultured alone as the reference group (CAF = 1; log₂(1) = 0), and data are presented as log2 fold change. Each line represents an independent biological replicate (CAFs from three different patients: OV02, OV04, and OV05). Statistical significance was determined by two‐way ANOVA followed by Tukey's multiple comparison test. (* P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001, **** P < 0.0001, and ns = not significant).
Article Snippet: Cells were treated with serially diluted concentrations of IDO1 inhibitor (epacadostat) (MedChemExpress, Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA) at 0 μ m and at concentrations ranging from 4 μ m to 0.0078 μ m using a 2‐fold serial dilution and incubated for 5 days.
