Figure Lengend Snippet: Immune recognition of glycan structures on PaTu-S and PaTu-T cells. (A) Interaction of immature DCs with PaTu-S and PaTu-T were visualized by fluorescence microscopy. Bar = 100 μm. (B) Binding of immature DCs to PaTu-S and PaTu-T in a cell adhesion assay, in the presence or absence of EGTA. Results are derived from 6 independent experiments using different donors and expressed as average percentage binding ± SEM. (C) Binding of recombinant human galectins Gal-1, Gal-3, and Gal-4 (5 μg/ml) to the PDAC cell lines was measured by flow cytometry. Results are given as average MFI ± SEM of at least 2 independent experiments. (D) Binding of Fc-chimeras of DC-SIGN, MGL, DCIR and Dectin-1 to PaTu-S and PaTu-T cells was measured by flow cytometry. Results are given as average MFI ± SEM of at least 3 independent experiments. * P ≤ 0.05, ** P ≤ 0.01, and *** P ≤ 0.001.

Article Snippet: Mouse anti-human galectin (Gal)-1 , and anti-Tn monoclonal antibodies were kindly provided by Dr. RD Cummings (Boston, USA), goat anti-human Gal-4 was purchased from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN) and anti-sialyl Lewis A/CA 19-9 monoclonal antibody was from LifeSpan Biosciences (Seattle, WA).

Figure Lengend Snippet: AT-GAA Reversed the Levels of the Autophagic Markers and Alleviated the Burden of Accumulated Protein Aggregates and ER-Stress in Muscle from KO Mice Muscle biopsies were collected from age and sex-matched WT, untreated (KO), and AT-GAA-treated KO (KO-ERT) mice. (A) Western blot analysis of muscle lysates from WT, untreated KO (KO), and treated KO (KO-ERT) mice with the indicated antibodies (n = 4 for each group; n = 5 for western blot with LC3 antibody). (B) Western blot analysis of muscle lysates from WT, untreated KO (KO), and treated KO (KO-ERT) mice with K63-linked ubiquitin specific antibody (n = 4 for each group). Western blot with anti-GAPDH and Ponceau S staining were used as loading controls. (C) Western blot analysis of muscle lysates from WT, untreated KO (KO), and treated KO (KO-ERT) mice with anti-Grp 78 antibody (ER-stress marker; n = 4 for each group); GAPDH was used as loading control. Each data point represents an individual mouse. Statistical significance was determined by one-way ANOVA. Graphs represent mean ± SD. ∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < 0.001; ∗∗∗∗p < 0.0001.
