doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2025.1658679

Figure Lengend Snippet: CRTC1 in LLC cells suppresses T-cell proliferation and cytotoxicity. (A) Western blot analysis of CRTC1 expression in LLC cells transfected with plasmid overexpressing (oe-CRTC1) or its negative control (oe-NC) and co-cultured with activated CTLL-2 cells at a 1:10 ratio for 24 h (B) CCK-8 assay measuring viability of LLC cells. (C) Flow cytometry analysis of apoptosis in LLC cells. (D) CCK-8 assay assessing T-cell viability. (E-F) Flow cytometry analysis of apoptosis in T cells. (G) Western blot analysis of PD-L1, CXCL10, and CXCL11 expression in co-cultures. (H) ELISA detecting CXCL10 and CXCL11 secretion in supernatants. (I) ELISA measuring IFN-γ and IL-2 levels in supernatants. (J) LDH release assay evaluating T-cell cytotoxicity via supernatant LDH concentration. n = 3. The p-values in panels (A–J) were calculated using ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test. *p < 0.05 vs. Control. #p < 0.05 vs. T cells + oe-NC.
