G) Schematic of how dying cells induce IL-6 expression in PSCs to promote tumor cell growth and inhibit anti-tumor immunity. All data are mean ± s.d. and were analyzed by one-way (C) or two-way ANOVA (E) with Tukey’s multiple comparison test (*p≤0.05; **p≤0.01; ****p≤0.0001; only p values ≤ 0.05 are shown).

Figure Lengend Snippet: A) Scheme of subcutaneous PDAC tumor model used in this study. B) Immunostaining of subcutaneous tumor tissue section against Epcam and Col1a1 (staining was performed on tumor tissues of 3 independent mice). C) IL-6 immunostaining on subcutaneous PDAC tumors 24h post treatment with vehicle, A43087, gemcitabine or a combination of gemcitabine with A430879. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (scale bar = 100 µm, n = 5 mice per group). Graph shows quantification of the Il-6 immunofluorescence staining.
