Figure Lengend Snippet: A Representative flow cytometry images of skin infiltrated neutrophils in WT (BM WT), WT (BM Tnf −/− ), and Tnf -−/− (BM WT) groups. 6 Tnf -deficient male mice were used as BM donors, all the recipient mice were female. B Statistical flow cytometry analysis of epidermal/dermal infiltrated neutrophil ratio (NTEM ratio) in WT (BM WT), WT (BM Tnf −/− ), Tnf −/− (BM WT) group. n = 9, means ± SEM. C Quantification of gelatin zymography of invitro cultured neutrophils activated by TNF-α and CXCL2. n = 6, 3 male mice and 3 female mice were used to obtain BM and purify neutrophils in vitro, means ± SEM. D Images displaying gelatin zymography of ( C ). E Images display gelatin zymography of in vitro cultured neutrophils with dermal purified monocytes. F Quantification of gelatin zymography of in vitro cultured neutrophils with dermal purified monocytes in ( E ). n = 6, means ± SEM. G Quantification of gelatin zymography of in vitro cultured neutrophils with Tnf -competent-monocytes or Tnf -deficient-monocytes. I Images display gelatin zymography in ( G ). H Quantification of gelatin zymography of in vitro cultured neutrophils with siNC-monocytes or si Cxcl2 -monocyte. n = 6, means ± SEM. J Images display gelatin zymography in ( H ). The monocyte in ( G , H ) was collected from bone marrow and stimulated with LPS before coculture with neutrophils. The gelatin zymography in ( D , E , I , J ) are representative images of two or three independent trials. ND, not detected, ns, no significant difference. Data in ( B ) are from three independent trials; data in ( C , F , G , H ) are from two independent trials. Female mice were used to obtain BM in ( E–J ). Statistical analysis was performed using a two-tailed unpaired Student’s t -test in ( F , G , H ). Data in ( B , C ) were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s post hoc test. Bonferroni-corrected p values are indicated in ( B , C ).
Article Snippet: To study the function of CXCL2 in NTEM, female mice (weighing ~20 g) were intravenously injected with 30 μg of anti-mouse CXCL2 monoclonal antibody (Cat. No. MAB452-500, R&D Systems, USA) or an isotype control (Rat IgG2b, clone: 141945, Cat. No. MAB0061, R&D Systems, USA) 6 h before ICD induction.
