Figure Lengend Snippet: Co-culture of tonsil-derived ILCs with U87-MG significantly increased surface PD-1, KLRG1, and CTLA-4 compared with IDH1-mutant U87-MG. A – D Human tonsil-derived ILCs were cultured alone or co-cultured with U87-MG or IDH1-mutant U87-MG glioma cell lines, either with cytokine supplementation (recombinant human IL-2 [5 ng/mL], IL-7 [50 ng/mL], IL-12 [50 ng/mL], IL-1β [50 ng/mL], IL-23 [50 ng/mL]) or without cytokines for four days. Data points represent two independent experiments (ILC n = 3; U87-MG + ILC n = 6; IDH1-mutant U87-MG + ILC n = 6; technical replicates) A Representative flow-cytometry gating strategy for human tonsil-derived ILCs. B Flow-cytometry contour plots showing CTLA-4, KLRG1, and PD-1 surface expression percentages on ILCs. C Quantification of CTLA-4, KLRG1, and PD-1 expression percentages on ILCs. D Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of CTLA-4, KLRG1, and PD-1 expression on ILCs. E – F ILCs were cultured alone or exposed to glioma-conditioned medium (GCM) from U87-MG or IDH1-mutant U87-MG cell lines under the same cytokine conditions for four days. Data points represent two independent experiments (each with three technical replicates). E Percentages of CTLA-4, KLRG1, and PD-1–expressing ILCs following GCM exposure. F Corresponding MFI of CTLA-4, KLRG1, and PD-1 expression on ILCs. G – H Proliferation of CFSE-labeled tonsil ILCs co-cultured with U87-MG or IDH1-mutant U87-MG cells was analyzed after four days. G Representative flow-cytometry plots of CFSE dilution. H Quantification of proliferating CFSE-labeled ILCs from three independent experiments (each with four technical replicates). Error bars represent ± SD. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way ANOVA (*p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001, ****p ≤ 0.0001)
Article Snippet: Human glioma U87-MG and its isogenic IDH1 (R132H)-mutant U87-MG (#HTB14IG) cell lines were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC).
