Figure Lengend Snippet: Association of STAT1 with PTX resistance. (A) Analysis of the biological functions of STAT1. High STAT1 expression (expression level >80th percentile) based on pan-cancer transcriptomics data was associated with enriched pathways. Horizontal coordinates indicate the different types of cancer in The Cancer Genome Atlas and vertical coordinates indicate the names of cell biological functions. The significance of each enrichment result was determined using the default setting. (B) Gene Set Enrichment Analysis of 'HALLMARK_APOPTOSIS' between STAT1 high and low expression samples of ovarian cancer (expression level >80th and <20th percentile, respectively). (C) Effect of apoptosis inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK in STAT1-overexpressing PTX-resistant cells. SK3R-PTX, OV3R-PTX and A2780-PTX cells were stably infected with empty vector, STAT1α or STAT1β plasmids in the presence of PTX, followed by 20 μ M Z-VAD-FMK or solvent DMSO treatment for 48 h. Cell viability was detected using a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Data were normalized using reads from the empty vector group. Differences among multiple groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference test. Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n=5). ** P<0.01; *** P<0.001 (oe-STAT1α/β vs. Vector). (D) Analysis of genes closely related to apoptotic pathways obtained after TFoTF prediction and screening of the apoptosis gene set ('HALLMARK_APOPTOSIS'). Information about these genes is shown in the table on the right. The scatterplot on the left shows the visualization of the TFoTF prediction outcomes for these genes. The horizontal coordinate indicates the R score based on TFoTF and the vertical coordinate indicates the PWM score ( k max1 ). The red circles denote genes in the extrinsic apoptosis pathway, and the blue circles denote genes in the intrinsic apoptosis pathway. (E) Correlation of CASP8 and FAS expression with cellular PTX resistance. The significance of each regression coefficient was determined using the Wald test with a t-distribution using the SciPy Python package. (F) Analysis and screening of STAT1-targeted PTX resistance-associated apoptotic genes. In the bubble plot, the horizontal coordinate indicates the Pearson correlation coefficient between the target gene of STAT1 and PTX resistance. The vertical coordinate indicates the statistical significance of the correlation. The red horizontal dashed line indicates the position of the regression P-value of 0.05. The size of each bubble indicates the R score based on TFoTF. The color depth of each bubble indicates the PWM score based on TFoTF ( k max1 ).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Detection of the interaction of STAT1 with CASP8 and FAS. (A) Prediction of STAT1 binding site sequence. The PWM of STAT1 was used to predict the binding site in the promoter region. The visualized sequence logo of the PWM is illustrated at the top, and the specific values of the PWM are shown in the table at the bottom. The x-axis represents the position in the sequence alignment. The y-axis represents the information content in bits. A higher value means that position is highly conserved. (B) Prediction of STAT1 binding sites in the CASP8 and FAS promoter regions using PWM analysis. Blue wireframes and arrows indicate high-scoring binding sites (four sites on the CASP8 promoter and two sites on the FAS promoter). (C) The correlation regression results of CASP8 and FAS with STAT1 in OC. The significance of each regression was determined using the Wald test with the t-distribution using the SciPy Python package. (D) Schematic diagram showing the full-length promoter (top) and three truncated fragments of CASP8 with colored squares indicating predicted binding sites and sequences.

(G) Detection of STAT1 directly binding to FAS promoter DNA using dual-luciferase reporter gene assays. 293T cells were co-transfected with a dual-luciferase reporter gene plasmid and oe-STAT1α, oe-STAT1β or empty vector.

(H) Schematic illustration of the regulatory mechanism of STAT1 on the reversal of PTX resistance in OC cells. In PTX-resistant cells, the expression levels of STAT1 and apoptotic factors FAS and CASP3 were low. Administration of PTX increased STAT1 expression and the overexpression of STAT1 upregulated FAS and CASP8 at the transcriptional level, thus promoting PTX-resistant cell apoptosis.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 8. A proposed model of STING-mediated PANoptosis in DLBCL. SAMHD1 deficiency induced DNA damage to promote STING activation. Activation of STING led to the formation of CASP8/RIPK3/ASC complex, further activating MLKL, CASP3, and GSDME to induce PANoptosis. Specifically, MLKL phosphorylation induced necroptosis. CASP3 cleavage not only induced apoptosis but also cleaved GSDME to induce pyroptosis.
