Figure Lengend Snippet: a , Experimental workflow of the CRISPR inhibition screen. b , Log10 negative score per gene, as calculated by MAGeCK. Cd80 and Cd274 evidenced in orange. Genes involved in TNF signalling pathway via NF-κB in red, and MAPK signalling pathway in darkred. c , IL-33 concentrations measured by ELISA in colon of DSS-treated mice (n = 12, B6J) and colon and blood of C. rodentium -infected mice (n = 7, B6J), compared to untreated controls (n = 7, B6J). Medians are shown. Two-tailed unpaired Student’s t -test. d , IFNγ, TNF and IL-22 concentrations measured by LEGENDplex in colon (left) and blood (right) of C. rod entium-infected mice (n = 7, B6J), compared to untreated controls (n = 7, B6J). Medians are shown. Two-tailed unpaired Student’s t -test. e , A-Eos (PD-L1 + CD80 + ) frequencies upon conditioning of BM-Eos with colon CM, IL-22, IL-25, TNF or IL-33 (n = 4, B6J). Data are pooled from two independent experiments. Medians are shown. One-way ANOVA. f , A-Eos frequencies after conditioning with increasing doses of IL-33. Input: BM-derived (n = 5, B6J), blood (n = 5, Il5 -tg) and splenic (n = 5, Il5 -tg) eosinophils. Medians are shown. One-way ANOVA. g , Western blot of phospho-p38 and phospho-p65 upon conditioning of BM-Eos with colon CM or IL-33 (n = 3, B6J). h , Gene expression normalized to Hprt measured by qRT–PCR of BM-Eos upon conditioning with IL-33 (n = 4, B6J). Data represents mean ± SEM. Two-tailed unpaired Student’s t -test. i , ST2 expression in BM-Eos upon IL-33 treatment (n = 4, B6J). Data represents mean ± SEM. Two-tailed unpaired Student’s t -test. j , ST2 expression in colonic A-Eos and B-Eos (n = 5, B6J). Data represents mean ± SEM. Two-tailed unpaired Student’s t -test. k , ST2 expression across organs (n = 5, B6J). Data represents mean ± SEM. One-way ANOVA. l , A-Eos frequencies upon conditioning of WT (n = 2, pooled B6J) or ST2 −/− (n = 2, pooled) BM-Eos with colon CM or IL-33. Technical replicates and mean ± SEM are shown. Two-tailed unpaired Student’s t -test. m , Left: Representative FACS plots of A-Eos (PD-L1 + CD80 + ) and PD-L1 − CD80 − eosinophils in the blood (top) and spleen (bottom). Numbers indicate % of eosinophils. Right: A-Eos frequencies in mice treated with IL-33 (n = 6-7, B6J). Medians are shown. Two-tailed unpaired Student’s t -test. n , A-Eos and B-Eos frequencies in the indicated organs of B6J (n = 7) and Il33 −/− (n = 5) mice at steady state. Medians are shown. Two-tailed unpaired Student’s t -test.
Article Snippet: The NF-κB inhibitor BAY11-7082 (B5556, Sigma) was added at a concentration of 5 μM and anti-IL-33 neutralizing antibody (AF3626, Biotechne) at 30 ng ml −1 .
