doi: 10.1002/advs.202519765
Figure Lengend Snippet: DADA improves the efficacy of ACT and ICB immunotherapies. (A) Schematic experimental procedure in (B–F): CTV‐labeled OT‐1 cells, which had undergone an initial activation with OVA peptide for 2 days and subsequent stimulation with anti‐CD3/CD28 mAbs and IL‐2 in the presence of DADA for 4 days, were transferred into MC38‐OVA tumor‐bearing mice. (B–D) Tumor growth curves (B), images of tumors (C), and tumor weights (D) at 15 days after MC38‐OVA inoculation; n = 6. (E,F) Quantification of transferred OT‐1 CD8 + T (E), Ki67 + CD8 + T, PD‐1 + TIM‐3 + CD8 + T, TCF1 − TIM‐3 + CD8 + T, TCF1 + TIM‐3 − CD8 + T, IFN‐γ + CD8 + T, TNF‐α + CD8 + T, and GZMB + CD8 + T (F) cells from tumor; n = 6. (G) Schematic experimental procedure in (H–L): WT mice were fed with DADA‐containing or normal water from day ‐14 until day 0, and were injected (s.c.) with MC38 cells on day 0. Anti‐PD‐1 mAb were injected (i.p.) on day 9, 12 and 15. (H–J) Tumor growth curves (H), images of tumors (I), and tumor weights (J) at 15 days after MC38 inoculation; n = 7. The experiment was repeated three times. (K,L) Quantification of CD8 + T (K), Ki67 + CD8 + T, PD‐1 + TIM‐3 + CD8 + T, TCF1 − TIM‐3 + CD8 + T, TCF1 + TIM‐3 − CD8 + T, IFN‐γ + CD8 + T, TNF‐α + CD8 + T, and GZMB + CD8 + T (L) cells from tumor; n = 7. The experiment was repeated three times. (M) Schematic experimental procedure in (N–R): WT mice were fed with DADA‐containing or normal water from day ‐14 until day 0, and were injected (s.c.) with B16‐F10 cells on day 0. Anti‐PD‐1 mAb were injected (i.p.) on day 9, 12 and 15. (N‐P) Tumor growth curves (N), images of tumors (O), and tumor weights (P) at 17 days after B16‐F10 inoculation; n = 7. The experiment was repeated three times. (Q,R) Quantification of CD8 + T (Q), Ki67 + CD8 + T, PD‐1 + TIM‐3 + CD8 + T, TCF1 − TIM‐3 + CD8 + T, TCF1 + TIM‐3 − CD8 + T, IFN‐γ + CD8 + T, and TNF‐α + CD8 + T (R)cells from tumor; n = 7. The experiment was repeated three times. Data are presented as mean ± SD and are analyzed by two‐way ANOVA (B, H, and N), unpaired t test (D–F), and one‐way ANOVA (J–L, and P‐R); * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001. ns, not significant.
Article Snippet: For isolation of mouse CD8 + T cells, cells were purified from splenic lymphocytes using through magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) using the Mouse CD8 + T Lymphocyte Negative Selection Kit (Cat#130‐104‐075, Miltenyi Biotec, USA).
