doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2021.768435
Figure Lengend Snippet: Rab26 deficiency reduces EPOR signaling and restrains macrophage polarization. A qPCR assay was conducted to evaluate the mRNA expression of EPOR (A) and PPARγ (B) in WT BMDMs treated with rhEPO (20 IU/ml) for the indicated time (n = 3). (C) The MFIs of cell surface EPOR in BMDMs treated with rhEPO (20 IU/ml) for the indicated times were tested by FACS (n = 3). * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 vs. 0 h. (D) The MFIs of CD80 and CD86 were evaluated by FACS in WT and Rab26 -/- BMDMs treated with or without eCIRP (1 µg/ml) or rhEPO (20 IU/ml) for 24 h (n = 3). (E) A qPCR assay was conducted to evaluate the mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in WT and Rab26 -/- BMDMs treated with eCIRP (1 µg/ml) and rhEPO (20 IU/ml) for 24 h (n = 3). (F) Localization of EPOR in WT and Rab26 -/- BMDMs. WT and Rab26 -/- BMDMs were stained with an anti-EPOR antibody (1:100 dilution) and Alexa Fluor 488-labeled secondary antibody (1:200 dilution) (green), and nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Representative confocal images of the surface and intracellular expression of EPOR are shown. Scale bar: 10 µm. Data are representative of at least two independent experiments. Results were expressed as mean ± SD. n. s., not statistically significant. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01. Statistics: One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test for multiple comparisons (A–E) . EPOR, erythropoietin receptor; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; PPAR, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor; BMDM, bone marrow derived macrophage; EPO, erythropoietin; MFI, mean fluorescence intensity; FACS, fluorescence activated cell sorter; eCIRP, extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein.
