Figure Lengend Snippet: a Expression of GBP5 and STAT1 in the wildtype and GBP5 -/- (three different clones A1, B1, and B2) THP-1 cells. THP-1 cells were treated with IFNγ (25 ng/ml), or IFNγ (25 ng/ml) plus LPS (500 ng/ml), or mock treated for 16 h. Cells were then harvested for Western blot analyses with anti-GBP5, anti-STAT1, and anti-β-actin antibodies, respectively. b Expression of GBP5 and STAT1 after siRNA knockdown of GBP5 in Jurkat cells. Jurkat cells were treated with GBP5 siRNA or control RNA for 48 h and subsequently stimulated with IFNγ/LPS for an additional 16 h. Cells were then harvested and subjected to Western blot analyses with anti-GBP5, anti-STAT1, and anti-GAPDH antibodies, respectively. c GBP5 -/- THP-1 cells were transfected with either control (CTRL), GBP5 or STAT1 plasmid for 48 h, followed by treatment with IFNγ/LPS for 16 h. The cells were then harvested and subjected to RT-qPCR analysis. n = 3 biologically independent samples for each group. Data are mean ± SEM, Student t -test. d GBP5 -/- THP-1 cells were transfected with either control (CTRL) or GBP5 plasmid for 48 h, followed by treatment with IFNγ/LPS for 16 h. Cells were then harvested and analyzed by Western blot with anti-Flag, anti-GBP5, anti-STAT1, anti-p-STAT1 (S727), and anti-β-actin antibodies, respectively. e Persistent expression of GBP5 despite the diminished expression of STAT1. THP-1 cells were treated with fludarabine (10 ng/ml) or mock-treated for 4 h, followed by IFNγ stimulation for 16 h. Cells were then harvested and analyzed by Western blot with anti-STAT1, anti-GBP5, and anti-β-actin antibodies, respectively. f UCSC genome browser tracks showing ChIP-seq of GBP5 (with or without IFNγ/LPS stimulation) and STAT1 (with or without IFNγ/LPS stimulation) bound promoter region of selected STAT1 effector genes in THP-1 cells.
Article Snippet: Then, the rest of the protocol was followed by the instructions of immunohistochemistry (IHC) kit (ZSGB-BIO, Cat#PV-6000), with the GBP5 (1:200, CST, Cat#67798S) and STAT1 antibodies (1:200, CST, Cat#14994S).
