Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 6 CXCL8 inhibits PD-1+CD8+ T cell infiltration. (A) Representative IHC images of CXCL8, CD3, and CD8 were analyzed in CXCL8 low-expression group (upper) and CXCL8 high-expression group (lower) from clinical paraffin tissue chip. (B) The correlation coefficient of CXCL8 and CD8 from A. (C) Representative IHC images of CXCL8, CD8, and PD-1 in CXCL8/BALB/c and control/BALB/c groups. (D and E) The quantification of the immunohistochemical staining of C, the percentage of CD8+ cells shown in D, and the CD8+PD-1+ cells were analyzed in E. (F) Representative IHC images of CXCL8, CD68, CD163, and PD-L1 in CXCL8/BALB/c and Control/ BALB/c groups. (G and H) The quantification of the immunohistochemical staining of F, and the percentages of CD163+ cells (G) and CD163+PD-L1+ cells (H) were analyzed. (I) WB was used to detect p-STAT3, STAT3, and PD-L1 expression in THP-1-M0 treated with CXCL8. (J) mIHC was performed to analyze colocalization of CD8 (brownish red), PD-1 (green) in murine CRC slice, and the nucleus was stained with DAPI (blue). The percentages of CD8+ cells or CD8+PD-1+ cells were analyzed with inForm Advanced Image Analysis software. Data represent the average of three independent experiments (Student's t-test, *p < .05, ***p < .001).
Article Snippet: For the quantification of CXCL8 levels in the cell culture supernatant, the supernatant from CRC cell lines with or without IL- 1β treatment was collected, and the CXCL8 levels were measured by human CXCL8 sandwich ELISA kits (VAL103, NOVUS, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
