Article Title: The CXCL9/SPP1 polarity axis in tumor-associated macrophages: immunoregulatory and prognostic significance in non-small cell lung cancer

doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2026.1763652

Figure Lengend Snippet: Validation of CXCL9 + and SPP1 + macrophage expression and polarization characteristics in lung cancer tissues. (A) Representative mIF staining for CXCL9+ TAMs and SPP1+ TAMs in lung tissue sections from the normal and LUAD tumor groups. DAPI (blue), CD68 (red), CXCL9 (yellow), SPP1 (green) are shown, along with individual and merged channels. (n = 3 per group). Scale bar, 20 μm. (B) Representative mIF staining of CXCL9+ TAMs (yellow) and SPP1+ TAMs (green) in lung tissue sections from the normal and LUAD tumor groups (n = 3 per group). Scale bar, 20 μm. (C) qRT-PCR validation of macrophage polarization. The M1 group showed high expression of Cxcl9 and iNOS, while the M2 group showed high expression of Spp1 and Arg1. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences (*p < 0.05).

Article Snippet: Following another stripping step, the third round was performed using mouse anti-human CD68 monoclonal antibody (1:50000, Servicebio, Cat# GB153150 ) with HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse secondary antibody (ready-to-use, Servicebio, Cat# G1301), and signal was developed using iF555-Tyramide (1:500, Servicebio, Cat# G1233).

Article Title: Phase I First-in-Human Study of TRK-950, an IgG1 Antibody Specific to CAPRIN-1, in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors

doi: 10.1158/2767-9764.CRC-25-0123

Figure Lengend Snippet: Graphs depicting the density of macrophage subsets pre- and posttreatment with TRK-950. Tumor specimens obtained with core-needle biopsies at the screening and C1D22 time points were subjected to multi-immunofluorescence to detect macrophage infiltrates. Quantitative analyses were performed on digital images of CD68 and CD163 staining. A, total CD68 + cells; ( B ) CD68 + /CD163 − subsets; ( C ) CD68 + /CD163 + subsets. Error bars indicate SD. C1D22, cycle 1 day 22; SCR, screening.

Article Snippet: After antigen retrieval (36 minutes at 95°C, pH 8.4), 4-μm-thick sections of tumor specimens obtained from core-needle biopsies at the screening and C1D22 time points were stained with mouse monoclonal anti-human CD68 (IgG2b, clone 298807, R&D Systems) and mouse monoclonal anti-human CD163 (IgG1, clone 10D6, Leica Biosystems) and then incubated with AF647 goat anti-mouse IgG2b and AF488 goat anti-mouse IgG1 (both from Invitrogen).

Techniques: Immunofluorescence, Staining

Article Title: Activated hepatic stellate cell-derived small extracellular vesicles facilitate M2 macrophage polarization and hepatoma progression via miR-27a-3p

doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1489679

Figure Lengend Snippet: miR-27a-3p promotes the M2 polarization of macrophage. (A) Representative images for the immunohistochemical staining of macrophage maker CD68 and CD206 in nude mice xenografts, bar = 100 μm; and the number of CD68, CD206 positive cells per 200 × field for each group (mean ± SEM). **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 vs control. Below each group of images is an image showing the magnification of the corresponding box area above. (B) The expression of miR-27a-3p in mimic-miR-27a-3p or anti-miR-27a-3p treated THP1 cells was evaluated by qRT-PCR 24 h after transfection, normalized to U6 snRNA (mean ± SEM). **P < 0.01, ****P < 0.0001 vs. control. (C, D) The expression of CD206 was evaluated in mimic-miR-27a-3p or anti-miR-27a-3p treated THP1 cells by western blotting normalized to β-actin (mean ± SEM). *P < 0.05, ****P < 0.0001 vs. control. The data were from three independent experiments.

Article Snippet: Monoclonal antibodies against CD206 (Boster, China), CD68 (Boster, China), Ki67 (Abcam, USA), and SPRY2 (Proteintech, China) were used.
