Two-tailed Pearson correlation was used to compute the correlation between variables. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001.

    Article Snippet: HepG2- FADD or Huh7-sh FADD cells were then treated with CCL5-neutralizing antibodies (nAb; 100 pg/mL, R&D Systems, #MAB678-SP) or recombinant human CCL5 (rCCL5; 100 pg/mL, R&D Systems, #278-RN-050/CF), respectively, before T cells were added to the top chamber.

    Sequential activation of FADD converts anti–PD-1 responsiveness in ICI-resistant HCC mouse models. A, Schematic of sequential anti–PD-1 treatment and Fadd overexpression in orthotopic PD-1R tumor–bearing C57BL/6 mice. B, Kaplan–Meier survival analysis of mice from the indicated groups ( n = 8–10). C and D, Western blotting analysis of p-Fadd Ser191 and Fadd in tumors from control or AAV- Fadd –treated tumor-bearing mice ( C ) and CTNNB1 OE /MYC OE -induced spontaneous tumors ( D ). E, Schematic of sequential anti–PD-1 and ADT-OH treatment schedule in the CTNNB1 OE /MYC OE -induced spontaneous HCC model. F, Western blotting analysis of p-Fadd Ser191 and Fadd in tumors from control and ADT-OH–treated mice. G and H, Representative photos, hematoxylin and eosin staining ( G ), and enumeration of tumor nodules in the indicated groups on day 80 ( H ). Scale bar, 1,000 μm. I, Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) plots showing high-dimensional flow cytometry analysis of tumor-infiltrating CD45 + leukocytes from the indicated groups of mice ( n = 6). UMAP plots consist of 12,000 cells each and are representative of concatenated samples within each group. Indicated immune cell clusters are highlighted in the indicated colors, and their proportions as percentages of CD45 + leukocytes are quantified ( J ). DC, dendritic cell; NA, no annotation. K, Heat map showing Pearson correlations among the number of tumor nodules; p-Fadd Ser191 ; Fadd; CCL5; the proportions of total, CCR5 + , IFNγ + , and TNFα + CD8 + T cells; TUNEL scores; and the concentrations of IFNγ and TNFα. L, Kaplan–Meier survival analysis of mice from the indicated groups ( n = 10–14); two-sided log-rank (Mantel–Cox) test. M, The FADD/CCL5/CD8a signature in patients with HCC treated with atezolizumab alone or in combination with bevacizumab (anti-VEGF). Data are presented as the mean ± SD for at least two (mouse models) or three (Western blotting) independent experiments and analyzed with the unpaired, two-tailed Student t test. Correlation analyses were performed using single-tailed Pearson correlations. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001.
