doi: 10.1002/advs.202308461
Figure Lengend Snippet: T RM cells enhance the immunopathologic development of T1D through the FABP4‐CXCL10 axis. A) Representative immunoblots of CXCL10 and HSP90 in the pancreas of FABP4 +/+ NOD and FABP4 −/− NOD mice. The right panel is the quantification of the band intensity of CXCL10 relative to HSP90 ( n = 4). B) The mRNA abundance of FABP4, IFNγ, and CXCL10 in FABP4 +/+ T RM cells and FABP4 −/− T RM cells isolated from NOD mice ( n = 6). C) Representative FACS plots showing the abundance of IFNγ and CXCL10 in FABP4 +/+ T RM cells or FABP4 −/− T RM cells. The right panel is the quantification of positive cell percentage ( n = 5). D) Concentration of IFNγ and CXCL10 in the medium of FABP4 +/+ T RM cells or FABP4 −/− T RM cells stimulated with CD3 + CD28 + beads or vehicle ( n = 6). E,F) Representative images (E) and quantification (F) of displacement length (left) and average speed (right) analyzed by Imaris showing the motility of GFP‐labeled CD8 + T cells cultured in the conditioned media of FABP4 +/+ T RM or FABP4 −/− T RM cells in the presence or absence of recombinant CXCL10 protein (2 µg mL −1 ) or IgG control (2 µg mL −1 ) for 24 h (scale bar 50 µm). G) The number of residual (upper) and migrated (lower) CD8 + T cells cultured in the trans‐well plate with a conditioned medium of FABP4 +/+ T RM cells or FABP4 −/− T RM cells in the presence or absence of recombinant CXCL10 protein (2 µg mL −1 ) or IgG (2 µg mL −1 ) for 24 h ( n = 3). H,I) Representative pictures (H) and quantification (I) of displacement length (left) and average speed (right) showing the motility of GFP‐labeled CD8 + T cells cultured in the conditioned medium of FABP4 +/+ T RM or FABP4 −/− T RM cells treated with siCXCL10 (5 nmol) or siControl (siCtrl, 5 nmol) for 24 h (scale bar 50 µm). J) The number of residual (upper) and migrated (lower) CD8 + T cells cultured in the trans‐well plate with the conditioned medium from FABP4 +/+ T RM cells or FABP4 −/− T RM cells treated with siCXCL10 or siCtrl (5 nmol) for 24 h ( n = 5). Data are expressed as mean ± SD. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001. Unpaired Student's t test or Mann‐Whitney U test was used in (A), (B), and (C). ANOVA followed by Sidak's test was used in (D), (F), (G), (I), and (J).
Article Snippet: To assess the alarming function of FABP4 +/+ T RM and FABP4 −/− T RM cells and the involvement of CXCL10, the conditioned medium of respective cells were added to the lower wells. and supplemented with recombinant murine CXCL10 (2 g mL −1 , PeproTech) or IgG as control.
