Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Quantified levels of IL-1α from naïve fibroblast (Naïve fibro), inflammatory fibroblast (Inflam fibro), and ectopic basal cell (Basal) conditioned media as determined by ELISA. ( B ) Saa3 and Ccl2 gene expression by RT-qPCR for fibroblasts cultured on 0.5kPa plates and treated with a 5-fold titration of IL-1α added to control media, including the level determined in (A). ( C ) Graphic illustrating the strategy used to deplete conditioned media of endogenous IL-1α with antibodies, magnetic beads, and column-based separation. ( D ) Saa3 and Ccl2 gene expression by RT-qPCR for fibroblasts cultured on 0.5kPa plates in control or conditioned media depleted using IgG (CTRL IgG or CM IgG) or IL-1α nAb (CTRL nAB, CM nAb) and supplemented with additional IL-1α nAb after depletion (+Spike). [(B) and (D)] Data shows mean fold change ± SD and are pooled from 3 independent experiments (n=3 mice). P values were calculated using either (B) a ratio paired t -test or (D) a one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Turkey multiple comparison test: * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, **** P < 0.0001, ns: not significant.
