Zeb2 expression differentially affects subsets of tissue-resident cDC2s. (A, C, and E) Representative FACS plots showing identification of XCR1+SIRPα− cDC1s and XCR1−SIRPα+ cDC2s in the liver (A), lung (C), and SI LP (E) of Zeb2+/+, Zeb2+/−, Zeb2−/−, Zeb2+/Tg, and Zeb2Tg/Tg mice. Cells were pregated as single live CD45+ lineage−CD64−F4/80−MHCII+CD11c+CD26+. The numbers represent the proportion of cDC1s and cDC2s as a percentage of total cDCs. (B, D, and F) Proportion of liver (B), lung (D), and SI LP (F) cDC1s and cDC2s as a percentage of total cDCs in Zeb2+/+, Zeb2+/−, Zeb2−/−, Zeb2+/Tg, and Zeb2Tg/Tg mice. Data are pooled from two to three experiments, with at least n = 7 per group. (G) Representative FACS plots showing identification of CD103+SIRPα− cDC1s, CD103+SIRPα+ cDC2s, and CD103−SIRPα+ cDC2s in the SI LP of Zeb2+/+, Zeb2+/−, Zeb2−/−, Zeb2+/Tg, and Zeb2Tg/Tg mice. Cells were pregated as single live CD45+ lineage−CD64−F4/80−MHCII+CD11c+CD26+. The numbers represent the proportion of each cDC subset as a percentage of total cDCs. (H) Proportion of SI LP CD103+ cDC1s, CD103+ cDC2s, and CD103− cDC2s as a percentage of total cDCs in Zeb2+/+, Zeb2+/−, Zeb2−/−, Zeb2+/Tg, and Zeb2Tg/Tg mice. Data are pooled from two to three experiments, with at least n = 7 per group. (I) Proportion of MLN-resident XCR1+SIRPα− cDC1s, XCR1−SIRPα+ cDC2s, and XCR1+SIRPα+ DP cDCs as a percentage of total resident cDCs in Zeb2+/+, Zeb2−/−, and Zeb2Tg/Tg mice. Data are representative of two experiments, with n = 5 per group. (J) Proportion of MLN migratory CD103+ cDC1s, CD103+ cDC2s, and CD103− cDC2s as a percentage of total migratory cDCs in Zeb2+/+, Zeb2−/−, and Zeb2Tg/Tg mice. Data are representative of two experiments, with n = 5 per group. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001. One-way ANOVA with Bonferroni posttest was used.
