Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 7. FABP5 downregulation in DSCs repressed CXCL11/CXCR3 signaling between DSCs and HTR-8/Svneo cells. (A) KEGG pathway analysis of DEGs identified by RNA-seq in FABP5-knockdown primary DSC. (B) Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) of chemokine signaling pathways in FABP5-silenced DSCs. (C) FPKM values of CXCL11 expression in control and FABP5-knockdown groups. (D) RT-qPCR, (E, F) Western blot, and (G) ELISA quantification of CXCL11 expression in DSCs transfected with FABP5-targeting or NC siRNAs. (H) RT-qPCR and (I, J) Western blot analyses of CXCR3 expression in HTR-8/Svneo cells treated with CS from FABP5-deficient or control DSCs. Statistical significance: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.

Article Snippet: The concentration of CXCL11 in the CS was measured using a human CXCL11 ELISA kit (Boster, Beijing, China; CAT# EK0737) following the manufacturer’s instructions.
