Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4. LIR motif of ING4 was required for PD-L1 autophagic degradation and anti-tumor immune escape. A), Immunoprecipitation and Western blot analysis of H520 cell lysates. The relative binding of ING4 to LC3B was quantified. Results are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 3). *P<0.01. B), Alignment of ING4 with LIR motif contained proteins, and schematic illustration of ING4 LIR motif. C), in vitro binding analysis of the interaction of ING4 with LC3B as described in methods. Down panel was ponceau S staining. The relative binding of ING4 to PD-L1 was quantified. Results are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 3). *P<0.01. D, H520 cells were transfected PEBG (GST), GST-ING4, GST-F178A plasmids as indicated for 48 h. GST pull-down analysis was performed using cell lysates. The relative binding of ING4 to LC3B was quantified. Results are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 3). *P<0.01. E, WT or ATG7−/- H520 cells were transfected vector (pcDNA3), Flag-ING4 or Flag-F178A plasmids for 48 h and Western blot analysis of cell lysates. The relative PD-L1 level was quantified. Results are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 3). *P<0.01. F, H520 cells were transfected vector (pcDNA3), Flag-ING4 or Flag-F178A plasmids for 48 cells, and co-localization of PD-L1 with LAMP1 was detected by confocal. Scale bar: 25 μm. Percent colocalization of PD-L1 with LAMP1 was quantified. Results are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 15 fields). *P<0.05. G,H, H520 cells were transfected vector (pcDNA3), Flag-ING4 or Flag-F178A plasmids for 48 h and co-cultured with Jurkat cells for 24 h. IL-2 or IFN-𝛾release from Jurkat cells was assayed. Results are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 3). *P<0.05. I,J), Implanted tumor model analysis of vector (pLenti-CMV), ING4 or F178A stably expressing LLC cells. Tumor volume and weight were measured. Results are expressed as means ± SEM, n = 6. *P<0.05.
