Figure Lengend Snippet: a, Schematic of metastatic progression using labelling-4T1 cells6. b, Experimental design for RNA-seq6. c, Principle Component Analysis (PCA) diagram of CD45-Ter119- cell signatures from metastatic lungs at early (n=3, 10 mice each) and late (n=3, 5 mice each) time points. d, Venn diagram of differentially expressed genes in Cherry-niche from RNA-seq and selected factors common at early and late stages. e, Anti-Wisp1 blocking antibody treatment in vivo (n=10, from two independent experiments; data shown on a Tukey plot: box from the 25th to 75th percentiles, the bar is the median and the whiskers from smallest to largest value). f, GSEA correlation from RNA-seq data comparing early (n=3) or late (n=3) Cherry+ samples vs their respective Cherry-controls. g, Representative IF image of lung tissue (n=3 mice): mCherry-labelled micro-metastasis (red), Surfactant protein C (SP-C) (white) and DAPI (blue). Scale bars: main 100μm, inset 10μm (white arrows: mCherry labelled SP-C+ cells). h, Epcam+ cell frequency on Lin-(CD45-CD31-Ter119-) cells in distal lung (Ch-) and Cherry-niche (Ch+) estimated by FACS (n=13). i, Representative FACS plots from (h). Statistical analysis by unpaired two-tailed t-test with Welch’s correction (e), weighted Kolmogorov–Smirnov-like statistic with Benjamini-Hochberg correction (f) and paired two-tailed t-test (h). See Source Data.
Article Snippet: In selected experiments, wells were supplemented with 4-Hydroxy-TEMPO (200μM, Merck Sigma-Aldrich, Germany) or mouse anti-Wisp1 (250ng/ml, MAB1680, R&D, USA).
