Fig. 3. Inhibition of osteosarcoma progression due to the induction of immune cell infiltration by the SGLT2 inhibitor.

Fig. 3

MNNG/HOS cells treated with or without SGLT2 inhibitor (canagliflozin, 1 uM) for 24 h were harvested for RNA sequencing analysis, and Volcano plot (a) and heatmap (b) showed the differentially expressed genes in MNNG/HOS cells treated with or without SGLT2 inhibitor. Green points represent downregulated genes, while red points represent upregulated genes. c Histogram of the GO-enriched pathways related with immune infiltration in the SGLT2 inhibitor treatment group. d TIMER web tool was used to search the relationship of the mRNA expression level of SGLT2 and the infiltration level of CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, and CD4+ Th2 cells in osteosarcoma. e K7M2 tumor growth curves (n = 5/group) of different groups (***p < 0.001). NS normal saline. f, g Immunofluorescence staining analysis of the percentage of CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ T cells infiltrated in K7M2 tumors (f). Data are presented as the mean ± SD (g, n = 5/group, ***p < 0.001).
