Figure Lengend Snippet: The structure and characterization of CD25 aptamer. ( A ) The secondary structure of the CD25 aptamer was estimated by RNAstructure software v6.4 of Mathews Lab. The sequence of CD25 aptamer is shown with modifications indicated (Z, 5-[ N -(1-naphthylmethyl)carboxamide]-2′-deoxyuridine; N me , 2′- O -methyl nucleosides). ( B ) The binding affinity of CD25 aptamer to the CD25 recombinant protein was determined by the BLI method. Ni-NTA probes were immobilized with His-tag CD25 protein, followed by incubation with the aptamer 125 (green), 250 (yellow), or 500 nM (red). The binding signal over time is shown. Kd is expressed as mean ± SD. ( C ) The cells were stained with biotin-aptamer combined with NeutrAvidin DyLight 650 or APC-conjugated anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody (mAb), and then the specificity of the antibody and the aptamer to the cells was examined by flow cytometry (control for aptamer: DyLight 650 only; control for antibody: not stained).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Activated Jurkat cells were treated with SPATE for 18 h, as previously. Following the treatment, the amount of soluble CD25 protein in Jurkat cells’ supernatants was measured using an ELISA assay ( A ) and in cell lysates by western blot using an antibody against CD25 and β-actin as a loading control ( B ). CD25 protein expression was also analyzed in the Jurkat cell line J45.01 ( B , J45.01). The possibility of CD25 cleavage by SPATEs was also assessed by incubating ∼1ug of recombinant CD25 with 1-2 μM of SPATEs at 37°C overnight, followed by SDS-PAGE analysis ( C ). Lastly, CD25 gene expression was evaluated by qRT-PCR ( D ).
