Figure Lengend Snippet: The dynamic modulation of CD73/PD‐L1 axis by pro‐tumour neutrophils. (a) Experimental design of the in vitro modulation in HNC cell lines SCC47, SCC9, PCI52 and FaDu. (b) Immunodetection of PD‐L1, CD73 and CDK6 after treatment with Neutrophils (+NØ), NØ with 10 µg of TEX (+TEX), NØ pre‐treated with CD73 inhibitor followed by TEX incubation (+AMPCP +TEX), NØ pre‐treated with A2 B R antagonist MRS1754 followed by TEX incubation (+MRS +TEX), NØ pre‐treated with A3R antagonist followed by TEX incubation (+PSB10 +TEX) compared to control (HNC cell line = CTRL). Prior to lysis, NØ were washed out to reduce NØ interference in the measurement. Per sample, 10 µg of protein was loaded. β‐actin was used as loading control. HNC cell line PCI52 was used as a representative. Additional cell lines FaDu, SCC9 and SCC47 are shown in Figure . N = 3. (c) Semi‐quantitative analysis of western blots. Protein expression was normalized to the loading control β‐actin. Graphs show mean ± SD and significance values were calculated using multiple two‐way ANOVA. * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001. (d) Illustration of the chicken embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay design. (e) Immunodetection of PD‐L1, CD73, CDK6 and Cyclin D1 after 7‐day CAM protocol. Groups divided as treatment of HNSCC primary tumour with healthy neutrophil supernatant (PT +NØ), NØ with TEX (+TEX), or NØ pre‐treated with P1R antagonist followed by TEX incubation (+CGS +TEX) compared to control (HNSCC primary tumour = PT). Per sample, 25 µg of protein was loaded. β‐actin was used as loading control. N = 3. Original blots are shown in Figure .
