Article Title: Cancer-associated fibroblasts derived fibronectin extra domain A promotes sorafenib resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma cells by activating SHMT1

doi: 10.1016/j.gendis.2024.101330

Figure Lengend Snippet: CAFs promote sorafenib resistance by activating NF-κB in HCC cells. (A) Immunofluorescence analysis was performed to assess the expression of FAP and α-SMA on primary CAFs. Scale bars, 50 μm. (B) Co-culture with CAFs significantly reduced apoptosis of HepG2 and Huh7 upon sorafenib treatment. (blue bar: sorafenib-treated tumor cells cultured alone; red bar: sorafenib-treated tumor cells co-cultured with CAFs). Student's t -test of variance, ∗ P < 0.05, ∗∗ P < 0.01, ∗∗∗ P < 0.001. (C) Enrichment score of the “I-κB kinase/NF-κB signaling” in sorafenib-resistant group versus sorafenib-sensitive group after sorafenib treatment, analyzed by Gene Set Enrichment Analysis based on the RNA-seq data (after performing log 2 transformation, normalization, and mean value calculation) obtained from the GEO database (GSE182593). (D) Western blot analyses of the protein level of P-p65 in the indicated HCC cells with different treatments. Results are representative of three experiments. (E) Inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway in HCC cells induced apoptosis significantly upon sorafenib treatment (blue bar: sorafenib-treated group; red bar: sorafenib and BAY11-7082-treated (100 μM) group). Student's t -test of variance, ∗ P < 0.05, ∗∗ P < 0.01, ∗∗∗ P < 0.001. CAFs, cancer-associated fibroblasts; NF-κB, nuclear factor kappa B; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; FAP, fibroblast activation protein; α-SMA, alpha-smooth muscle actin.

Article Snippet: The cells on slides were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min and permeabilized in phosphate buffer saline for 20 min. Then, cells were blocked with goat serum at room temperature for 60 min and incubated with primary antibodies against FAP (fibroblast activation protein; R&D system, #FAB3715A, RRID: AB_2884010) (1:200) and α-SMA (alpha-smooth muscle actin; R&D system, #MAB1420, RRID: AB_262054) (1:200) for 2 h. Then, the cells on slides were reheated and incubated with the corresponding secondary antibody at 37 °C in the dark for 2 h. Nuclei were counter-stained with DAPI.

Article Title: Nanobody-based trispecific T cell engager (Nb-TriTE) enhances therapeutic efficacy by overcoming tumor-mediated immunosuppression.

doi: 10.1186/s13045-023-01507-4

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 4 Nb-TriTE enhances the specific lysis of FAP-expressing target cells by T cells in vitro. A Schematic diagram of enhanced tumor-specific cytotoxic T cells induced by Nb-TriTE due to PD-1 blockade. B–E Dose-dependent lysis of HepG2 versus HepG2-FAP cells, U87 cells and primary CAF cells by unstimulated T cells varies proportionally with Nb-TriTE concentration (E:T ratio 10:1; incubation time, 16 h). F Nb-TriTE-induced cytotoxicity assays of target HepG2, HepG2-FAP, U87 and CAF cells were carried out at E:T ratios of 1:1, 5:1, and 10:1 for 16 h. G Cytotoxicity assays of target HepG2-FAP, U87 and CAF cells in the presence of Nb-BiTE and Nb-TriTE or Nb-BiTE (no T cells) and Nb-TriTE (no T cells) were carried out at E:T ratios of 10:1 for 16 h. H Cytotoxic lysis of HepG2-FAP in the presence of Nb-TriTE and T cells at a concentration of 2 μg/mL at an E:T ratio of 10:1 after 16 h, which is significantly interfered in the presence of hCD3ε, hPD-1 and hFAP blockade, respectively

Article Snippet: Incubation with a PE-conjugated anti-human FAP antibody (R&D Systems, USA) was performed to determine the expression of target cells, an APC-conjugated antihuman PD-L1 antibody (Biolegend, USA) was performed to determine the expression of target cells.
