The scale bar represents 100 µm. EFHD2: EF-hand domain-containing protein 2, WB: Western blot, JAK: Janus Kinase, STAT: Signal transducers and activators of transcription, GAPDH: Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, qRT-PCR: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, CCK-8: Cell counting kit 8, OE: Overexpression, KD: Knockdown, mRNA: Messenger RNA, OD450: Optical density at 450 nm, SD: Standard deviation.

Figure Lengend Snippet: EFHD2 regulates cell proliferation, migration, invasion, apoptosis, and JAK/STAT signaling. (a) Co-IP identified that FLAG-EFHD2 interacted with Myc-JAK1 in A549+EFHD2 OE and NCI-H1299+EFHD2 KD cells. (b) CCK-8 detected cell proliferation. Inhibition of JAK decreased the proliferation of A549+EFHD2 OE cells, while activation of JAK increased the proliferation of NCI-H1299+EFHD2 KD cells. (c) Flow cytometry to detect apoptosis. Inhibition of JAK increased the apoptosis of A549+EFHD2 OE cells, whereas JAK agonist enhanced the apoptosis of NCI-H1299+EFHD2 KD cells. (d) Transwell migration and invasion. Inhibition of JAK reduced the migration and invasion of A549+EFHD2 OE cells, whereas activation of JAK promoted the migration and invasion of NCI-H1299+EFHD2 KD cells. (e) Colony formation assay. Inhibition of JAK decreased the colony formation of A549+EFHD2 OE cells, whereas activation of JAK enhanced the colony formation of NCI-H1299+EFHD2 KD cells. (f) Western blotting. JAK inhibition decreased the levels of p-JAK1 and p-STAT3 in A549+EFHD2 OE cells, whereas JAK activation increased the levels of p-JAK1 and p-STAT3 in NCI-H1299+EFHD2 KD cells. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. ✶ P < 0.05, ✶ ✶ P < 0.01, ✶ ✶ ✶ P < 0.001 compared with the A549 group; # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01, ### P < 0.001 compared with the NCI-H1299 group. The scale bar represents 100 µm.

Figure Lengend Snippet: A, B. Viability of 4T1 ( A ) and CMT167 ( B ) cells after a 3-day coculture with or without AMs, in the presence of AC484 (50 nM) and/or IFNγ at indicated concentrations (ng/mL). C, D. Comparison of cytokine levels in conditioned medium collected from AMs cocultured with 4T1 ( C ) or CMT167 ( D ) tumor cells, supplemented with AC484 or DMSO controls. Cross makes indicate values beyond the detection range. Cytokines in the 13-plex panel that did not reach the detection limit in either condition were not plotted. E . Viability of 4T1 cells after coculture with or without AMs, comparing direct cell-to-cell contact versus separation by a transwell insert. F . Representative histograms of p-STAT1 (Y701) in AMs from wild-type (WT) or IFNγ knockout (KO) mice after 48 h coculture with CMT167 cells. AMs cultured alone serve as controls. G . Analysis of the fold change in p-STAT1 geometric MFI normalized to non-cocultured AMs from F. H . Viability of CMT167 cells after coculture with or without AMs harvested from WT or IFNγ KO mice, in the presence or absence of AC484. I . Representative histograms of p-STAT1 (Y701) in AMs after 24 h coculture with 4T1 tumor cells, with AC484 (100 nM) and/or the JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib (3 μM). AMs cultured alone with DMSO served as controls. J . Analysis of the fold change in p-STAT1 geometric MFI, normalized to DMSO-treated, non-cocultured control AMs, from experiments in I. K . Viability of 4T1 cells after coculture with or without AMs, in the presence or absence of AC484 (100 nM) and/or ruxolitinib (3 μM). For all bar graphs, data represent individual animals (dots), with mean ± SEM (bars). Unpaired t-test for two-group comparisons; one-way ANOVA for more than two groups: ns, p > 0.05; * p ≤ 0.05; ** p ≤ 0.01; *** p ≤ 0.001.

Article Snippet: In experiments involving the JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib, BAL cells were pre-incubated with ruxolitinib (3 μM, MedChemExpress) in complete RPMI for 2 h, washed, and then cocultured as described, with ruxolitinib maintained throughout the assay at 3 μM.
