Fig. 4. Intercellular signals and signal receptors involved in BMM adaptions to PDAC co-culture.

Fig. 4

a Macrophage polarization-associated intercellular signaling protein expressed by mesenchymal or classical PDAC cells in co-culture with corresponding receptors detected in BMM proteomes. Ligands with significantly different secretion among PDAC subtypes (two-sided Student’s t-test, permutation-based FDR = 0.05, S0 = 0.1) and BMM receptors with significantly different levels of abundance between culture conditions (ANOVA, permutation-based FDR = 0.05, S0 = 1) are indicated in bold. b Heatmaps of primarily macrophage and neutrophil chemoattractants secreted by PDAC cells and BMMs. c Macrophage and neutrophil count as a percentage of CD45-positive cells in tumors from orthotopically transplanted classical and mesenchymal cancer cells analyzed by flow cytometry. Numbers of biological replicates and two-sided Welch’s t-test p-values between cell ratios in classical or mesenchymal tumors are indicated. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
