Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) FACS analysis to determine the surface expression of IFNG-R1, TNF-R1, TNF-R2, FAS, TRAIL-R1, and TRAIL-R2 in MO3.13-A2-Luc cells. Grey histograms represent the isotype control. (B) Impact of IRG knockdown on TRAIL-R2 surface expression in MO3.13-A2-Luc cells. Left panel: Representative overlay of histograms to compare TRAIL-R2 expression on IRG +/- MO3.13-A2-Luc cells. Right panel: Compiled data of mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) for TRAIL-R2 expression. (C) Real-time cytotoxicity assay (IncuCyte® SX5 System) to analyze TRAIL-induced apoptosis over 48 hours in IRG +/- MO3.13-A2-Luc cells. Incucyte® Cytotox-Red Dye was added to the transfected MO3.13 oligodendrocytes together with TRAIL treatment as an indicator of apoptosis. The graph shows total red object integrated intensity per well (RCU x µm²/Image). (D) Western blot analysis of total/cleaved caspase-3/8/9, TRAF2, phosho(p)/total TAK1, MKK4, JNK, NF-κB, pLKB1 and Bcl2 in IRG +/- MO3.13-A2-Luc cells upon 4 h treatment with TRAIL. Experiment was run in two separate blots each including Scr samples. Each HIT was shown in comparison to Scr sample analyzed in the same blot (Blot1: Scr, siSTK11, siKCNH8 and siABCA2; Blot2: Scr, siSLC1A3 and siCHRNA1). Representative data of (A & D) two, (B-C) three independent experiments. Values represent the mean ± SD. P-value was calculated using paired two-tailed Student’s t-test (* = p < 0.05, ** = p < 0.01, *** = p < 0.005, **** = p < 0.001).
Article Snippet: Supernatants of FluTC-MO3.13-A2-Luc co-cultures and anti-CD3/CD28 activated FluTC were further analyzed for the detection of IFNγ (Human IFN-γ ELISA Set, BD OptEIA, #555142), TNFα (Human TNF ELISA Set, BD OptEIA, #555212), Granzyme B (Human Granzyme B ELISA development kit, Mabtech, #3485-1H-20) and TRAIL (human TRAIL/TNFSF10 DuoSet ELISA, R&D Systems, #DY375-05) ( , ).
