(A) Affinity purification with mAb against the IBDV major capsid protein VP2 in DT40 cells, incubated with VP2 (or the empty vector as a negative control), followed by mass spectrometry analysis. Many host proteins were associated with VP2, including chicken CD74. (B and C) Interaction between VP2 and the CD74 extracellular domain detected via a coimmunoprecipitation (co-IP) assay. (B) Western blot (WB) analysis using an antibody against the HA tag showing the bands corresponding to VP2 in the Flag co-IP assay. (C) Western blot analysis using an antibody against the HA tag showing the bands corresponding to the CD74 extracellular domain in the Flag co-IP assay. (D) To determine the distribution of CD74 in organs, the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, thymus, and bursa of Fabricius of uninfected SPF chickens were collected to measure CD74 transcription levels. The most abundant CD74 expression was found in the bursa. (E) To confirm the involvement of chicken CD74 in the IBDV infection process, SPF chickens were challenged by vvIBDV or PBS. Bursas were collected for RT-qPCR analysis of CD74 transcription levels. CD74 mRNAs were significantly induced by vvIBDV at 12 h p.i. (*, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01). The arithmetic means and standard deviations for at least three independent experiments performed in duplicate are shown.

Figure Lengend Snippet: CD74 overexpression promotes IBDV replication. CD74 Ii-2 isoform overexpression promotes IBDV infectivity. The expression of the CD74 Ii-2 isoform was upregulated by plasmid transfection in DT40 cells. Next, vvIBDV at an MOI of 1 was used to infected the cells as described in the text. Cells and supernatants were collected at 24, 48, and 72 h p.i. for Western blotting and at 48 h p.i. for qPCR analysis. (A) CD74 Ii-2 isoform overexpression remarkably promotes IBDV replication. The IBDV copy number was increased in the overexpression groups at 72 h p.i. compared with the nonoverexpression group (2.90-fold increase; *, P < 0.05). (B) IBDV VP2 protein expression is upregulated at 48 to 72 h p.i. in the overexpression group.

Figure Lengend Snippet: CD74 isoform Ii-2 confers to vvIBDV the ability to attach to a vvIBDV-nonpermissive cell line. (A) 293T cells (nonpermissive to vvIBDV) were transfected with a full-length chicken CD74 Ii-2 plasmid with an HA tag (or the empty vector as a negative control). Twenty-four hours after transfection, cells were incubated with vvIBDV at an MOI of 5 at 37°C for 36 h to investigate whether CD74 confers susceptibility to IBDV infection. (Top) Cells were processed for confocal analysis, using IBDV VP2 mAb and an HA tag antibody as the primary antibodies. No virus (green fluorescence) was detected in the empty vector control. (Bottom) In the CD74 Ii-2 overexpression group, CD74 (red fluorescence) accumulated on the cell membrane, colocalizing with the IBDV particles (green fluorescence). No virus was observed to enter CD74-overexpressing nonpermissive cells. CD74 could confer attachment ability but not susceptibility to IBDV infection. (B) 293T cells overexpressed HA-tagged chicken CD74 Ii-2 or the empty vector for 24 h and were then incubated with 200 μg SVPs at 4°C for 1 h. After washing with PBS 5 times, cells were processed for confocal analysis as described above. SVPs (green fluorescence) were bound to the membranes of CD74-overexpressing cells (red fluorescence) and colocalized with CD74, but no binding was observed for the empty vector group. (C and D) 293T and HeLa cells (both of which are nonpermissive to vvIBDV) were transfected with a eukaryotic expression plasmid of HA-tagged chicken CD74 Ii-2 (or the empty vector as a negative control) and maintained for 24 h under normal culture conditions. The cells were then incubated with vvIBDV at an MOI of 50 at 4°C for 1 h for the binding assay and washed with PBS 5 times to remove the unbound viruses. Cells were processed for confocal analysis using the same antibodies and procedure as the ones described above. No virus (green fluorescence) was found to bind or infect 293T (C) or HeLa (D) cells transfected with the empty vector. In contrast, IBDV (green fluorescence) colocalized with overexpressed chicken CD74 (red fluorescence) on the membrane of nonpermissive 293T (C) and HeLa (D) cells. (E and F) qPCR analysis indicating that CD74 overexpression promotes IBDV binding to 293T or HeLa cells compared with the empty vector transfection group (9.55-fold increase in 293T cells [E] and 5.07-fold increase in HeLa cells [F]; both P < 0.05). The arithmetic means and standard deviations for at least three independent experiments performed in duplicate are shown.

(C) MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells (3×10 5 ) were co-transfected with pGL3-CCR5 and pRL-TK and exposed to different concentrations of TGF-β1 for 24 h, and luciferase activities were determined. (D) MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells were pre-treated with 5μM SIS3 for 2 h, and cells were subjected to luciferase assay. (E) 10 6 MCF-7 cells were transfected with TGFβRI/ALK5 siRNA, and were then co-cultured with lactate-activated THP-1 macrophages (ratio 1:1) for 24 h. The protein levels of CCR5 were assayed by western blot. (F) The expression of TGF-β1, CCL5 and CCR5 in clinical samples obtained from breast cancer patients. The mRNA levels were measured by quantitative PCR, and the correlation between TGF-β1 and CCL5-CCR5 axis was shown. (G) Representative IHC staining for TGF-β1, CCL5 and CCR5 in breast cancer samples. The sample used was derived from 28 breast cancer cases. Scale bars represent 50 μm. * , P<0.05; ** , P<0.01.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Glucose uptake, lactic acid production and ATP levels in breast cancer cells co-cultured with lactate-activated THP-1 macrophages, with or without 5μg/ml anti-CCL5 neutralizing antibody. The co-culture system was described in Figure . (B) Western blots for glycolytic enzymes in breast cancer cells treated as in (A). (C) MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with shRNAs designed against CCR5, or pre-treated with 5μM Maraviroc for 2 h, and then subjected to cell co-culture. Glucose uptake, lactic acid production and ATP levels were measured after co-culture. The co-culture system was described in Figure . (D) The protein levels of HK2, PKM2 and LDHA in MDA-MB-231 cells cultured as in (C). (E) Recombinant human CCL5 induced aerobic glycolysis in breast cancer cells. MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7/CCR5 cells were treated with increasing concentrations of CCL5 for 12 h, and glucose uptake, lactic acid production and ATP levels were detected. (F) Western blots for glycolytic enzymes in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7/CCR5 cells after stimulation with CCL5. * , P<0.05; ** , P<0.01.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Western blot for AMPK, c-Myc, HIF-1α and Akt in breast cancer cells co-cultured with 15mM lactic acid-activated THP-1 macrophages (ratio 1:1) for 72 h. Results presented were representatives of at least three independent experiments. (B) The expression of AMPK downstream signaling target ACC in breast cancer cells co-cultured as in (A). (C) MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells were transfected with 50 nM AMPKα1 siRNA, or pretreated with 10μM compound C for 4 h, and then incubated with 15mM lactic acid-activated THP-1 macrophages (ratio 1:1) for 48 h. The glucose uptake, lactic acid production and ATP levels were detected. (D) The inhibition of AMPK abrogated macrophage-induced EMT in MCF-7 cells. Cells were treated as described in (C). After co-culture, the expression of EMT markers, E-cadherin and vimentin, was measured by western blot. (E) Recombinant human CCL5 induced the phosphorylation of AMPK in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7/CCR5 cells. 10 6 cells were treated with 50ng/ml CCL5 for defferent time points as indicated, and phosphorylated AMPK and total AMPK were investigated by western blot. (F) Inhibition of CCR5 in MDA-MB-231 cells significantly attenuated macrophage-induced AMPK phosphorylation. MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with shRNAs designed against CCR5, or pre-treated with 5μM Maraviroc for 2 h, then co-cultured with 15 mM lactate-activated macrophages as described in (A). After co-culture, the phosphorylation of AMPK was detected by western blot. (G) Expressions of CCL5, CCR5 and p-AMPK in samples obtained from breast cancer patients (n =28).
