Figure Lengend Snippet: A Immunoblots of pSTAT6 (pY641) and γH2AX in thioglycolate-elicited peritoneal macrophages (Thio-PM) with Etoposide (Eto) and IL-4 treatment. The right panel shows the relative intensity of pSTAT6 (pY641) ( n = 4 independent experiments). B Immunofluorescence images of staining (pSTAT6 (pY641), red; DAPI, blue) of IL-4-stimulated Thio-PMs treated with Eto. Scale bars 50 μm. Right panel shows the quantification of pSTAT6 (pY641) ( n = 3 biological replicates per group). C Immunoblots of pSTAT6 (pY641) and γH2AX in Eto-treated Thio-PMs with different inhibitors. KU55933, an inhibitor of ATM. Berzosertib, inhibitor of ATR. NU7026, inhibitor of DNA-PK. AZD7762, inhibitor of CHK1/2. The right panel shows the quantification of pSTAT6 (pY641) ( n = 3 independent experiments). D Immunoblots of pSTAT6 (pY641) and γH2AX in Eto-treated Cas9 tg/+ Thio-PMs with indicated sgRNA. The right panel shows the quantification of pSTAT6 (pY641)/tSTAT6 ( n = 3 independent experiments). E Dual luciferase reporter of STAT6 in RAW 264.7 cells treated with Eto and NU7026 ( n = 3 per group). Data are mean ± s.e.m. p-value was calculated by paired two-tailed Student’s t test ( A , D ), unpaired two-tailed Student’s t test ( B ), one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s correction ( C , E ).
