Figure Lengend Snippet: MVP enhances the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of STAT6. (A) Wt and Mvp -/- BMDMs were stimulated with or without IL-4 at the indicated times before western blot analysis. (B) Raw264.7 cells were transfected with Flag-tagged MVP or vector for 36 h, then stimulated with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or IL-4 for 30 min. Immunoblot analyses were performed with the indicated antibodies. (C) Wt and Mvp -/- BMDMs were stimulated with IL-4 for the indicated time. The whole cell lysates (WCL), cytosolic and nuclear extracts were prepared and subjected to western blot analyses. Lamin B and GAPDH were used as nuclear and cytosolic fractions markers, respectively. (D) Experiments were performed similar to those in (C) , except Raw264.7 cells were transfected with Flag-MVP for 36 h. (E) IF of STAT6 in Wt and Mvp -/- PMs stimulated with IL-4. Representative image of STAT6 (green). Scale bar, 20 µm (left panel). The percentage of nuclear STAT6 positive cell numbers was counted (right panel). All protein abundance analyses were performed using Image J. All experiments were repeated at least three times with similar results. Data are expressed as means ± SEM, n = 3, two-tailed Student’s t-test. (**P < 0.01). See also Supplementary Figure 8 .
