Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3 Clofarabine activates the P53-induced non-canonical STING/NF-κB pathway and induces apoptosis, pyroptosis, and immunogenic cell death in melanoma and lung cancer cells. (A) Western blotting revealed the protein expression of P53, p-P53, cGAS, STING, p-IkBα, BAX, Cleaved Caspase-3, Cleaved Caspase-6, and Cleaved PARP in lysates collected from A375 and A549 treated with Clo. (B) ELISA was used to analyze the concentration of cGAMP in the lysate of A375 and A549 treated with Clo for 48 hours. n=2. (C) Western blotting revealed the nuclear protein expression of NF-κB p50 and p65 in lysates collected from A375 and A549 cells treated with Clo. (D) Immunoprecipitation was conducted to detect the interaction between P53 and STING. (E) Western blotting revealed the protein expression of GSDME-FL and GSDME-N in lysates collected from A375 and A549 treated with Clo. (F) The images of A375 treated with Clo for 48 hours show PI uptake. The statistical analysis was displayed. n=3. (G) qRT-PCR measurement of CCL5, CXCL10, HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, and BAX mRNA expression in A375 and A549 treated with Clo for 48 hours. n=3. (H) ELISA was used to analyze the concentration of CCL5 and CXCL10 in the supernatants of A375 and A549 treated with Clo for 48 hours. n=2. The p value was obtained by multiple comparisons in an ordinary one-way analysis of variance (B, F, G, H), and the results were presented as the mean±SD. ***p<0.001, ****p<0.0001. cGAS, cyclic GMP-AMP synthase; Clo, clofarabine; IgG, immunoglobulin G; PI, propidium iodidemRNA, messenger RNA; qRT- PCR, quantitative reverse transcription-PCR; STING, stimulator of interferon genes.
Article Snippet: To test whether CD8+ T cell inhibition in melanoma reverses the antitumor effects of Clo, B16F10- bearing C57BL/6 mice randomly received one of the following treatments: (1) vehicle+immunoglobulin G2 (IgG2) a (#BE0089, Bio X Cell, USA); (2) Anti- CD8α (A2102, Selleck, USA); (3) Clo+IgG2 a; (4) Clo+Anti- CD8α.
