Figure Lengend Snippet: A Membrane expression of MHC-I in TSCCs and B16F10 was assessed by flow cytometry with indicated treatments (mean ± s.e.m; n = 6; p = 0.0029, 0.0063 for SCC-9, 0.0037, 0.0002 for CAL-27, 0.001, 0.002 for B16F10; * p < 0.01, ** p < 0.001, siTPP2 compared with NC and siTPP2+XBP-1s, XBP-1s compared with vector and siTPP2+XBP-1s by two-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s tests for multiple comparisons). M indicates the mean fluorescence intensity. B SIINFEKL-H-2K b complex expression was evaluated by flow cytometry of B16F10 (mean ± s.e.m; n = 4; p = 0.0113 and p < 0.0001; * p < 0.01, ** p < 0.001 compared with shCtrl by two-tailed t -test). C Scheme of in vitro antigen presentation assays. D Quantification of mouse IFN-γ production by ELISA after 24 h (mean ± s.e.m; n = 5; p = 0.001, p < 0.0001, p < 0.001 for OVA and p < 0.0001 for SIINFEKEL; * p < 0.01, ** p < 0.001 compared with shCtrl by two-tailed t -test). E Twelve hours after coculture, GFP + cancer cells were harvested and cell death was examined by flow cytometry based on the uptake of PI and Annexin V (mean ± s.e.m; n = 4; p = 0.0003, p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001; * p < 0.01, ** p < 0.001 compared with shCtrl by two-tailed t -test). E indicates effector cells namely T cells. T indicates targeted cells namely cancer cells. F Additional transmembrane molecules expression after DRP-1 knockdown was assessed by flow cytometry ( n = 3). Both shCtrl and NC indicate negative control. G Graphic abstract of this study.
