Figure Lengend Snippet: a A single cell suspension was obtained from liver metastases of WT and P2rx1 −/− mice at day 17. Flow cytometry was performed to detect the frequency of CD8+PD-1+ (upper) and Ly6G+PD-L1 + or Ly6G+PD-L1− (lower) cells. P2RX1 expression was further determined in Ly6G+PD-L1+ and Ly6G+PD-L1− cells from WT mice ( n = 4 per group, three independent experiments). b Bone marrow neutrophils were isolated from WT and P2rx1 −/− mice and stimulated with tumor conditioned medium (TCM) or GM-CSF in the presence of a Nrf2 inhibitor or anti-GM-CSF neutralizing antibody. PD-L1 expression was detected by flow cytometry ( n = 4 per group, three independent experiments). c Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) was used to predict the two peaks that PD-L1 gene might be mediated by Nrf2 (upper). Bone marrow neutrophils were isolated from WT and P2rx1 −/− mice and stimulated with GM-CSF. Binding of PD-L1 gene by Nrf2 was detected by ChIP-PCR ( n = 3 per group, two independent experiments). d Bone marrow neutrophils were isolated from WT and P2rx1 −/− mice and stimulated with GM-CSF. Intracellular ROS was detected by flow cytometry ( n = 4 per group, three independent experiments). e Antigen activated CTLs was co-cultured with GM-CSF primed WT or P2rx1 −/− neutrophils. Cell proliferation was analyzed with CSFE staining in the presence or absence of anti-PD-1 neutralizing antibody ( n = 4 per group, three independent experiments). f KPC cells were transfected with empty lentiviral vector (KPC-LV) or OVA (KPC-OVA). Antigen-activated CTLs were co-cultured with KPC-LV or KPC-OVA cells in the presence of GM-CSF-primed WT or P2rx1 −/− neutrophils. Cytotoxicity was determined in the presence or absence of anti-PD-1 neutralizing antibody by counting the number of PI+ cells ( n = 4 per group, three independent experiments). Bars represent mean ± standard deviation in ( f ). P values are derived from one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparisons test ( f ). Source data are provided as a Source data file.
