Figure Lengend Snippet: Extracellular STC1 Interferes with GRP94 (A) Intracellular GRP94 protein expression in primary cultures of fractionated IMCs, AT2, and fibroblasts (Fib) populations from Stc1-WT/KO BVE mice, as determined by immunoblotting. ERK2 blots served as loading controls. (B) Immunoblot detection of GRP94 secreted into CM during 3 days of culture of IMC and non-IMC populations from Stc1-WT/KO BVE mice. Total protein (CBB) staining served as the loading control. (C) Confocal imaging of Stc1-WT/KO IMCs for GRP94/STC1 immunofluorescence. STC1-transfected HEK293 T cells treated with BD GolgiStop served as positive controls for STC1 staining. Scale bars, 10 μm. (D) Stc1 +/+ IMCs cultured for 72 h in IMC-CM depleted for GRP94 were evaluated by flow cytometry for F4/80 induction. The efficacy of immunodepletion was confirmed by GRP94 immunoblotting on the left. Representative F4/80 plots are indicated in the middle along with %F4/80 + and F4/80 MFI. The bar graph in the right shows %F4/80 reduction by GRP94 depletion (n = 3). (E) Scavenger receptor expression in IMCs. Confocal imaging of Stc1-WT/KO IMCs stained for SR-A1 and Mac2 (left). Maximum intensity Z projection images are indicated. Scale bars, 20 μm. SR-F1 immunoblotting of Stc1-WT/Het/KO IMC lysates (right). ERK2 blots served as loading controls. (F) Fucoidan-induced IMC maturation in the presence of STC1. %F4/80 + cells (left) and %CD11b high F4/80 high cells (right) were measured after 48 h of incubation ± fucoidan in 50% STC1-CM. (G) ELISA assay quantitation of recombinant GRP94 binding to immobilized SR-A1 in the presence of 100 ng/mL recombinant STC1 (n = 3).
