Loss of cGAS-STING signaling attenuated T + NK cell infiltration toward cancer cells and subsequent cytotoxicity. (a) A scheme of transwell chamber for fibroblast-immune-cancer cells co-culture, depicted using BioRender. The labeled compartments on the chamber scheme are corresponded to the analyzed samples of each following figure. (b) Expression of Meflin and TIMP-1 in CAFs following co-culture with cGASWT BxPC-3 or cGASKO BxPC-3. (c) Immune cell infiltration assay in co-culture system of cGASWT or cGASKO BxPC-3 cells with CAFs and T + NK cells. (d) Cell viability assay in co-culture system of cGASWT or cGASKO BxPC-3 cells with CAFs and T + NK cells. The bar graph represents mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) for at least three independent experiments. Statistical significance was determined using the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s test. *p < 0.1, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001. ns non-significant. This figure was created using GraphPad Prism 9.3.0 (https://www.graphpad.com/scientific-software/prism/).
