Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) 4TO7- Brca –KO cells stably expressing an empty vector (vector) or WT mouse Gsdmc ( Gsdmc -WT) or the D263A mutant ( Gsdmc -mut) were inoculated into the mammary fat pad of immunocompetent BALB/c mice ( n = 10). Mice were administered olaparib. Percentage of tumor-infiltrating CD8 + T cells was analyzed. ( B ) Overexpression of eGFP in the stable cells as indicated in A . Then cells and mice were treated same as in A . Mean numbers of eGFP tetramer + (eGFP tet + ) CD8 + T cells per gram of tumor (left). Percentage of IFN-γ + (middle) or TNF-α + (right) CD8 + T cells activated by eGFP peptide. ( C ) Frequency of memory T cell subsets in lymph node (LN), spleen, and tumors of A. Tex, exhausted T cell. ( D ) Initial tumor challenge and mice treatment were same as in A . Tumors were removed on day 18. Then tumor rechallenge of 4TO7 parental cells was performed 60 days after tumor removal. Tumor growth was shown ( n = 10). ( E ) Stable cells as indicated in A were inoculated into the mammary fat pad of immunocompetent BALB/c mice ( n = 10). 4TO7 parental cells were simultaneously injected into contralateral mammary fat pad. Mice were administered olaparib. Tumor growth of 4TO7 parental cells was monitored. ( F and G ) 4TO7- Brca –KO Gsdmc -WT cells were inoculated into BALB/c mice ( n = 10). Mice were administered olaparib. Depletion of CD8 + T cell with anti-CD8. Curves of tumor growth ( F ) and survival ( G ). ( H ) Growth curve of 4TO7- Gsdmc -WT and 4TO7-vector tumors in BALB/c mice ( n = 10) treated with olaparib or PD-1 antibody or the combination. Data represent mean ± SD. 1-way ANOVA was used for A , B , D , E , and H . Unpaired 2-tailed t test was used for F . Log-rank test was used for G . ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001.
