Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 7. Block IL-6/STAT3 pathway could attenuate the interaction between chordoma cells and macrophages. (A)The phosphorylation of STAT3 induced by chordoma cells or IL-6 could be attenuated by ST and Toci. (B)-(C) The expression levels of pSTAT3, TNFα, CD163, CD206 PD-L1 and PD-L2 in UM-TAM and UC-TAM were significantly decreased after ST treatment. (D)-(E) The expression of M2 markers (CD163 and CD206), immune checkpoints (PD-L1 and PD-L2) and TNFα in IL- 6M cells were significantly decreased after ST treatment. **** p < 0.0001, *** p < 0.001, ** p < 0.01, * p < 0.05. ns, no significance. Toci, Tocilizumab.ST, Sttatic. UM-TAM, UM-chor1-derived tumor-associated macrophage. UC-TAM, Uch1-derived tumor-associated macrophage. IL-6M, IL-6-derived macrophages. MFI, mean fluorescence intensity.
Article Snippet: Chordoma cells were harvested and re-suspended either in TAM CM or in complete medium with different concentration of TNFα (HZ-1014, Proteintech, China).
