Figure Lengend Snippet: MTX@PNSH promotes anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages through the A2AR signaling pathway. (A) The intracellular cAMP levels in Raw 264.7 cells were determined by homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) following different treatments. (B) qRT-PCR analysis of relative mRNA of A2ar with different treatments. (C) Immunostaining of A2AR expression in Raw 264.7 cells with different treatments. (D) Flow cytometry analysis of A2AR + cells in Raw 264.7 cells with different treatments and the percentage of A2AR + cells in Raw 264.7 cells with different treatments. (E) qRT-PCR analysis of relative mRNA expression of Pdl1 without LPS treatment. (F) qRT-PCR analysis of relative mRNA expression of Ido1 without LPS treatment. (G) qRT-PCR analysis of relative mRNA expression of Pdl1 with LPS treatment. (H) qRT-PCR analysis of relative mRNA expression of Ido1 with LPS treatments. (I) Western blotting analysis of A2AR protein level in macrophages after 24 h of different treatment with or without A2AR inhibitor. (J) Quantitative analysis of A2AR protein level in different treatments with or without A2AR inhibitor. (K) Flow cytometry analysis of CD11b and CD39 in Raw 264.7 cells with different treatments and the percentage of CD11b + CD39 + macrophages. (L) Flow cytometry analysis of CD11b and CD73 in Raw 264.7 cells with different treatments and the percentage of CD11b + CD73 + macrophages. (M) Flow cytometry analysis of CD11b and PD-L1 in Raw 264.7 cells after 24 h of different treatments and the percentage of CD11b + PD-L1 + macrophages in Raw 264.7 cells after 24 h of different treatments. Data are presented as mean ± SD, n = 3. Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA, followed by Dunnett's post hoc test for comparisons between groups.
