Activation of eIF4E is responsible for both SP20H knockout and TNF-α stimulation induced B7-H3 translation. (A) Total protein expression of B7-H3, phospho-p38, and phospho-eIF4E in SB203580 treated SP20H knockout or TNF-α pretreated SK-OV-3 cells. (B) Changes of p38 MAPK-eIF4E signaling and B7-H3 expression in SK-OV-3 cells transduced with the indicated sgRNAs under TNF-α stimulation. (C) The expression levels of B7-H3 after interfering with eIF4E in the SP20H knockout SK-OV-3 cells. The values represent the mean ratios of B7-H3high/B7-H3low population of triplicate measurements±SD. (D) Schematic illustration of two ways to induce B7-H3 expression via the p38 MAPK- eIF4E signaling.
