Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Cell survival of antigen loaded and untreated HCT 116 WT or ILKAP KO cells using 3 sgRNAs after 3 days of co-culturing with different ratios of PBMCs containing antigen specific CTLs. Bar graphs show normalized mean ± SD of triplicate representative of three independent experiments. ( B ) Cell survival of antigen loaded and untreated Panc-1 WT or ILKAP KO cells using 2 sgRNAs after 3 days of co-culturing with different ratios PBMCs containing antigen-specific CTLs. Bar graphs show normalized mean ± SD of triplicate representative of three independent experiments ( C ) ILKAP protein levels normalized to β-actin determined by Simple Western system. Bar graphs show normalized mean ± SD (n=3). (n.d. – not detectable). ( D ) Cell death of HCT 116 WT or ILKAP KO cells untreated or treated with 100 ng/mL IFN-γ or 40 ng/mL TNF-α determined with live/dead staining (FVS780) using flow cytometry. Bar graphs show mean ± s.e.m (n=3). ( E ) Fold change of HLA-A2, ICAM-1 and PD-L-1 cell surface levels after treatment with 100 ng/mL IFN-γ or 40 ng/mL TNF-α of WT or HCT 116 ILKAP KO cells. Bar graphs show mean ± s.e.m (n=3). ( F ) Mean fluorescence intensities (MFI) of HLA-A2, ICAM-1 and PD-L-1 of HCT 116 WT or HCT 116 ILKAP KO cells. Bar graphs show mean ± s.e.m (n=3). ( G ) ILKAP protein levels of Panc-1 cells transiently transfected with ILKAP or ILKAP H154D assessed by western blot. ( H ) Level of mICAM-1 measured with flow cytometry and ( I ) secreted sICAM-1 levels determined by ELISA of transiently transfected Panc-1 cells. For ( A ) and ( B ), two-way ANOVA corrected for multiple comparison according to Dunnett was used to determine statistical significance (*p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001****, p<0.0001). Two-tailed t tests with adjustments for multiple comparisons were performed ( D and E ). For ( C and F ) unpaired two-tailed t test was used to determine statistical significance (*p<0.05, **p<0.01).
Article Snippet: The amount of sICAM-1 in harvested cell culture supernatants was measured by using either RayBio human sICAM-1 IQELISA kit (RayBiotech, IQH-ICAM1) or human sICAM-1 ELISA kit (RayBiotech, ELH-ICAM-1) according to manufacturer’s instructions in duplicates for each sample.
