Fig. 7. TPX2 regulates CXCR5 expression by promoting P65 phosphorylation.

Fig. 7

A The proportions of CXCR5 + TIM3− cells among TPX2low and TPX2high (indicated in Fig. 1D) tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. B IF staining of CXCR5 and CD8 in the corresponding TPX2low and TPX2high HCC samples (indicated in Fig. 1A). Scale bar: 50 μm. C IF staining of TPX2 and CXCR5 in tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells transfected with LV-TPX2 or LV-NC. Scale bar: 5 μm. D, E The expression of CXCR5 was detected in tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells transfected with LV-TPX2 or LV-NC and PBMC-derived CD8 + T cells transfected with LV-shRNA or LV-NC. ***p < 0.001; the two-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test was used to compare two groups. CXCR5 C-X-C chemokine receptor type 5, DAPI 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, for nuclear staining, LV-NC lentivirus used as a control, LV-shRNA lentivirus used to knock down the human TPX2 gene, LV-TPX2 lentivirus used to overexpress the human TPX2 gene, PBMCs peripheral blood mononuclear cells, p-P65 phosphorylated P65, TIL tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte, TIM-3 T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain containing-3, TPX2 microtubule nucleation factor. Raw western blot results can be found in the Original data file.
