(A) Lactate levels in Jurkat cells when co-cultured with NCI-H23 cells treated with glucose, glucose + oxamic acid, glucose + rotenone; (B) PD-1 protein expression in Jurkat cells when co-cultured with NCI-H23 cells treated with glucose, glucose + oxamic acid, glucose + rotenone by Western blot; Comparison of PD-1 expression on mouse spleen CD8+ T cells cultured with or without lactate by (C) flow cytometry, (D) Western blot, and (E) qPCR; (F) Correlation analysis of PD-1 and MCT1 in CD8+ T cells in tumor microenvironment by single-cell sequencing data from ArrayExpress database (data number. E-MTAB-6149); (G) The mRNA expressions of PD-1 and MCT1 in different clusters of tumor infiltrating immune cells by scRNA-seq.
Article Snippet: The NCI-H23 human NSCLC cell line, LLC mouse lung cancer cells and Jurkat human T lymphocytic leukemia cells were from ATCC and maintained in DMEM or RPMI 1640 (HyClone) supplemented with 10% FBS (Bioexplorer), 100 U/mL penicillin (Yeasen), and 100 U/mL streptomycin (Yeasen) at 37°C in a humidified incubator containing 5% CO 2 .
