Figure Lengend Snippet: A Co-IP of STAT6-Turbo and JAK1, DNA-PK, ATM, and ATR in RAW 264.7 cells with TurboID. B Proximity ligation assay (PLA) of STAT6 and DNA-PK in Thio-PMs treated with Eto. Scale bars 10 μm. C The quantification of PLA signal in ( B ) ( n = 3 biological replicates per group, with more than 100 cells). D Diagram of phosphorylated sites in mouse STAT6 after Eto treatment. E Immunoblots of pSTAT6 (pY641) and tSTAT6 in Stat6 -/- Thio-PMs expressing STAT6 mutants (WT, S807A, S807E). F Immunoblots of pSTAT6 (pY641) in STAT6-mutants-expressed Cas9 tg+ Thio-PMs with Prkdc sgRNA under IL-4 & Eto co-treatment. G Dual luciferase reporter of STAT6 in RAW 264.7 cells expressing STAT6 mutants under IL-4 treatment ( n = 3 biological replicates per group). H Immunoblots of pSTAT6 (pS807) and γH2AX in Eto-treated Cas9 tg+ Thio-PMs with Prkdc sgRNAs. I Immunoblots of pSTAT6 (pS807) and γH2AX in Eto-treated Cas9 tg/+ Thio-PMs with Ku70 or Ku80 sgRNA. J Immunoblots of pSTAT6 (pS807) and γH2AX in Eto-treated Thio-PMs pre-treated with NU7026. The right panel shows the relative intensity of pSTAT6 (pS807) ( n = 3 independent experiments). K Immunoblots of pSTAT6 (pS807) and pSTAT6 (pY641) in Thio-PMs with indicated treatment. AS1517499, an inhibitor of STAT6 (block of pY641). L Immunoblots of pSTAT6 (pS807) and tSTAT6 in Eto-treated Stat6 -/- Thio-PMs expressing STAT6 mutants (WT, Y641F). The blot results are representative of three biologically independent repeats in ( A , E , F , H , I , K and L ). Data are mean ± s.e.m. Unpaired two-tailed Welch’s t test ( C ), One-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s correction ( G ), paired two-tailed Student’s t test ( J ).
