Extended Data Fig. 8. Human TSP-1 inhibits PKA activity in human sensory neurons.

Extended Data Fig. 8

(a) Box plot of Ptgs2 and Thbs1 expression showing normalized expression of the two genes. Upregulation of Thbs1 mirrors pain hypersensitivity as observed in Fig. 1a. The p-values and correlation coefficients indicated below are calculated using the Pearson correlation analysis for the average expression Thbs1 and Ptgs2 at each timepoint per condition. (b) Timeline of iPSC-derived sensory neuron differentiation, viral transduction and experimental treatments. (c) Representative images of iPSC-derived sensory neurons expressing PKA reporter (green) treated with DMSO, forskolin (FSK), or FSK + TSP1. The scale bar is 100 μm. Representative of two independent experiments with at least 9 wells in each condition. (d) Box plot graph showing the fold change (post/pre-treatment) in fluorescent intensity of PKA reporter in cells treated with FSK alone or FSK in the presence of escalating doses of TSP1. DMSO, n = 9; FSK, n = 18; TSP1 0.16 ug/ml, n = 9; TSP1 0.5 ug/ml, n = 9; TSP1 1.5 ug/ml, n = 9; TSP1 3 ug/ml, n = 9; TSP1 5 ug/ml, n = 9; TSP-1 10 ug/ml, n = 9 Bounds of box and whiskers are 25% and 75% percentile with 95% confidence level. One-way ANOVA was performed (n = 3 independent experiments), **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
