DNMTi treatment enhances secretion of pro-inflammatory chemokines from murine OC cells and increases migration of T cells. (A) ID8 Trp53-/- Adar1 knockdown (shAdar1) and control cells (shGFP) were plated on day 0 and treated with DNMTi for three consecutive days without media change. Cell culture supernatant was collected on day 4 for chemokine/cytokine analysis with the BioLegend LEGENDplex Mouse Anti-Virus Response Panel. Chemokine/Cytokine levels were normalized by number of live cells. (C) Graphs show ratio of migrated CD4+ or CD8+ T cells to tumor cells. (D) Graphs show migration index, which is the fold change of DNMTi-treated migrated T cells to mock-treated migrated T cells (red and purple bars), or alternatively, the fold change of migrated T cells in the +CCL5 condition to the −CCL5 condition (gray bars). A one-way analysis of variance was performed for statistical significance. *P<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001. 5-AZA, 5-zaacytidine; DMSO, dimethyl sulfoxide; DNMTi, DNA methyltransferase inhibitor; IFN, interferon; OC, ovarian cancer.
