Signaling pathways involved in higher M2 macrophage in HES1-loss KRAS mutant CRC. (A, B) “IL6_JAK_STAT3” signaling activation in HES1(−) group was identified by GSEA analysis of TCGA data set (A) and RNA sequencing (B). (C) The expression of phospho-STAT3 was evaluated by IHC, which displayed nuclear staining. Numbers of phospho-STAT3 (+) cases was higher in HES1 (−) group than in HES1 (+) group. (D, E) Expression of M2 macrophage related cytokine, IL10, was assessed by RNA array (*p < 0.05) and RNA sequencing (D) as well as by IHC (E). (F) IL10 protein expression was assessed by Western blot in SW620 control and HES1 KD cells and relative fold change (FC) was shown. Data shown was a representative of three similar experiments.
