Figure Lengend Snippet: Characterization of purified AT1 cells (A) Immunofluorescence confocal microscope images of AT1 cells cultured for 5 days. Aquaporin5 (AQP5) is a marker of AT1 cells. Scale bar: 50 μm. (B) Quantification of AQP5-positive cells. (C) Dot plot of purified cells cultured for 5 days stained with anti-RAGE, AT1 cells were gated as the black polygon and singlets were gated as the diagonal. FSC, forward scatter; SSC, side scatter; FSC-H, forward scatter height; FSC-A, forward scatter area. (D) Dot plot of gated single AT1 cells with AF488 fluorescence intensity as X axis. (E) Dot plot of purified cells cultured for 5 days stained with anti-PDPN, AT1 cells were gated as the black polygon and singlets were gated as the diagonal. (F) Dot plot of gated single AT1 cells with CY3 fluorescence intensity as X axis. (G) Interleukin-6 concentration in the supernatants of AT1 cells incubated for 24 h with or without anti-RAGE antibody. (H) Viability of AT1 cells at different time points as day 5, 8, 12, and 14 (D5, D8, D12, D14). Data represent mean ± SD. ∗∗∗∗, p < 0.0001.
