doi: 10.1016/j.isci.2025.112321
Figure Lengend Snippet: KLF4 is associated with sleep deprivation-induced ADRB2 modulation of macrophage prompting on proliferation, migration, and invasion of LLC-LUC cells (A) Differentially expressed Top20 genes in metastatic lung tissues of NC group and sleep deprivation group. (B) The expression of top 5 upregulated genes in tumor tissues was analyzed by qRT-PCR. (C) KLF4 expression was detected by ADRB2-specific agonist ISO and ADRB2 antagonist ICI118,551 in macrophages treated with IL-4 in vitro . (D) The effect of ADRB2 agonist on CD206 expression in IL-4-induced KLF4-knockdown macrophages. (E) EdU assays showed the proliferation of tumor cells in the coculture system with 30% CM. CM derived from IL-4 and IL-4 + ISO induced supernatant of macrophages with KLF4 low and high expression. (F) The migration ability of tumor cells was determined by wound healing assays in the indicated coculture medium. (G) Transwell assays demonstrated invasion of tumor cells in the indicated coculture system. (H) Representative IHC images of p-JAK1 and p-STAT6 in xenograft tumors. (I) The phosphorylation of JAK1 and STAT6 expression in RAW264.7 treated with ADRB2 agonist or antagonist via Western blotting. (J) Immunoblotting of KLF4 in RAW264.7 treated with different conditions. Data represented as mean ± SD. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s t test or Mann-Whitney U test. ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, and ∗∗∗ p < 0.001.
Article Snippet: The paraffin sections of mice tumor tissues were subjected to baking, dewaxing, dehydration, elimination of endogenous peroxidase activity, tissue pressure-resistant antigen repair, 5% BSA blocking, dropping of rabbit polyclonal antibody against KLF4 (Proteintech), rabbit polyclonal antibody against CD31 (Proteintech), rabbit polyclonal antibody against p-JAK1 (ImmunoWay), rabbit polyclonal antibody against p-STAT6 (ImmunoWay), PBS washing at 4°C overnight, incubation with secondary antibody at 37°C for 35 min, PBS washing, and staining.
