Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Heatmap showing relative expression of NicheNet-predicted ligands expressed by FACS-sorted myeloid cell subsets (n=4). ( B ) Immunofluorescence staining (25× image) and ( C ) Heatmap showing relative expression of FAP, TWIST1 and type III collagen in monocyte-stimulated CCD-18Co fibroblasts. ( D ) Immunofluorescence staining (10× image) and ( E ) Bar plot showing relative expression of FAP, type I and type III collagen in monocyte-stimulated CCD-18Co fibroblasts. Data are shown as bar plots with SEM. Statistically significant differences were determined using a one-way ANOVA test corrected with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test (*** p <0.005, **** p <0.001). ( F ) Immunofluorescence staining (25× image) and ( G ) Heatmap showing relative expression of FAP, TWIST1 and type III collagen in pro-fibrotic cues -stimulated CCD-18Co fibroblasts. ( H ) Immunofluorescence staining (10× image) and ( I ) Bar plot showing relative expression of FAP, type I and type III collagen in pro-fibrotic cues -stimulated CCD-18Co fibroblasts after TWIST1 inhibition. Data are shown as bar plot with SEM. ( J ) Immunofluorescence staining (10x image) and ( K ) quantitative analysis (mean fluorescence intensity) of FAP and PDPN pro-fibrotic cues -stimulated iPSC-derived intestinal organoids with or without Harmine. Data are shown as bar plot with SEM. Statistically significant differences were determined using a one-way ANOVA test corrected with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test (* p <0.05, ** p <0.01, *** p <0.005, **** p <0.001).
Article Snippet: Then the cells were fixed with ice-cold acetone (Chem-Lab) and labelled with sheep anti-human FAP antibody (1:40, AF3715, R&D Systems), mouse anti-human TWIST1 antibody (1:100, clone 2F8E7, Invitrogen), goat anti-human collagen III alpha 1 antibody (1:500, NBP1-26547, Novus Biologicals), ATTO 490LS-conjugated phalloidin (1:200, 14479, Sigma-Aldrich), Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated donkey anti-sheep IgG antibody (A-11015, Invitrogen), Cy3-conjugated donkey anti-goat IgG antibody (705-165-003, Jackson ImmunoResearch) and Cy5-conjugated donkey anti-mouse IgG antibody (715-175-151, Jackson ImmunoResearch).
