Figures supplementary to the research on: Different immune responses in the radiotherapy-sensitive and resistant mouse model
doi: 10.4121/16725733
The purpose of this study was to investigate the different immune responses between relatively radiotherapy-sensitive and -resistant tumor models in vitro and in vivo. Radiotherapy-sensitive CT26WT cell line and -resistant LL2 cell line were irradiated at different doses. Cell viability and expression levels of Sting and IFNb1 were determined in vitro. The corresponding tumor models in C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice were established. Tumor growth, expression levels of immune-related factors IFNb1, PD-1 and PD-L1, and the percentage of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) were measured. In radiotherapy-resistant LL2 model, activated STING pathway, along with improved host immune response was observed. However, programmed cell death proteins was also upregulated in radiotherapy-resistant LL2 model as well. These finding provide molecular basis and rationale to combine radiotherapy and immunotherapy to overcome the radiotherapy-resistant cancer in the clinical setting.
Figure1.
In vitro cell viabilities against different dosages of radiation post-72h between CT26WT and LL2. CT26WT and LL2 were inoculated into 24-well plates and treated with 0Gy, 4Gy, 8Gy, 20Gy, 30Gy, or 8Gy×3 irradiation. After the cells were attached, the plate was placed in an incubator for 72 h (1×103/well). Cell viability is performed by CCK8 and normalized as the percentage of cell viability of 0Gy group (taken as100%). Data are expressed as mean±SEM.

Expression of the STING pathway in LL2 and CT26WT cell lines 24 h after different dose of radiation. (A, B) mRNA levels of mouse Ifnb1(mIfnb1) was measured by RT-qPCT in LL2 and CT26WT after exposed with radiation at 0Gy, 8Gy, 20Gy, 30Gy, and 8Gy×3. (C, D) Western blot image and (E, F) quantitative analysis of western blot data of mSting protein in LL2 and CT26WT cell lines 24 h after treatment with 8Gy,20Gy,30Gy,and 8Gy×3 radiation. *P<0.05,**P<0.01.

(C, D) Ifnb1(mIfnb1) mRNA levels expressed in the LL2 and CT26WT mouse models with radiation at 0Gy and 8Gy×3. IFNb1 expression was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. *P<0.05,**P<0.01, ****P<0.0001.
