Figure 6. CSF1/CSF1R signaling blockade elevates PDL1 expression in tumor cells.
A–B) qRT-PCR analysis of KI tumors following 8-day treatment with vehicle, CSF1Ri or αCSF1.
C) PDL1 and PDL2 expression in denoted tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells from orthotopic KI tumors treated with vehicle or CSF1Ri. Representative FACS plots and MFI are depicted.
D) Mean percentage of PDL1+ and PDL2+ TAMs and monocytes.
E) Mean percentage of PDL1+ PDAC cells in orthotopic KI tumors from mice treated with vehicle, CSF1Ri, or αCSF1. PDAC cells were identified as CD45− mCherry+.
F–G) PD1 expression in tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells following vehicle or CSF1Ri treatment. Representative expression plots, MFI and positive cells percentage data are depicted.
All graphs depict means values +/−SEM, n=3–7 mice/group. * denotes p<0.05 by unpaired t-test.
