The image contains multiple panels showing various experimental results. Panel A presents a vertical bar graph measuring ATP hydrolysis in the presence of increasing doses of c-di-GMP. The graph shows mean values with standard error of the mean (SEM) from biological triplicates, with statistical significance calculated by one-way ANOVA. Panel B shows a Western blot (WB) analysis of T98G cells treated with NU7441 and fluorinated 3' 3'-cGAMP, using the indicated antibodies. Panel C presents vertical bar graphs of gene expression analysis under similar treatment conditions, with statistical significance calculated by two-tailed Student T-test. Panel D outlines the experimental scheme for human primary monocyte isolation and treatment. Panel E shows flow cytometry analysis of macrophages. Panel F presents vertical bar graphs of gene expression analysis in human primary cells, with statistical significance calculated by two-tailed Student T-test. Panels G, H, and I show western blot analyses of T98G cells treated with NU7441 and different STING agonists (E7766, ADU-S100, diABZI). Panels J and K present vertical bar graphs of gene expression analysis in control and DNA-PKcs knockout THP-1 cells treated with E7766 and diABZI, respectively, with statistical significance calculated by two-tailed Student T-test.
DNA-PKcs selectively counteracts CDNs. (A) ATP hydrolysis by DNA-PKcs was measured in vitro in presence of increasing doses (0.8–2,500 µM) of c-di-GMP. Graph presents the mean (±SEM) performed in biological triplicates. Statistical significance was calculated by one-way ANOVA. ns, not significant. (B) T98G cells were treated or not with 2 μM NU7441 in combination or not with 10 µg/ml fluorinated 3′3′-cGAMP for 6 h prior to WB analysis using the indicated antibodies. Representative WB of three independent experiments. (C) As in B, except that gene expression analyses were conducted. Graphs present the mean (±SEM) performed in biological triplicates. Statistical significance was calculated by two-tailed Student's t test. ***: P < 0.001; **: P < 0.01; *: P < 0.05. (D) Experimental scheme for human primary monocyte isolation and treatment (Fig. 3 E). Human primary monocytes were isolated from buffy coats prior to treatment or not with 2 µM NU7441 for 1 h, followed by administration of 10 µg/ml fluorinated 3′3′-cGAMP for 6 h and gene expression analysis. (E) Flow cytometry analysis of macrophages prepared as in Fig. 3 G. (F) Gene expression analyses were performed on human primary cells treated as described in Fig. 3 G. Graphs present the mean (±SEM) expression of IFIT1 in three independent experiments. Statistical significance was calculated by two-tailed Student's t test. (G) T98G cells were treated or not with 2 µM of NU7441 prior to addition or not of 1 µM of E7766 STING agonist for 3 h and analysis of gene expression. WB analyses were conducted using indicated antibodies and are representative of three independent experiments. (H) T98G cells were treated or not with 2 µM of NU7441 prior to addition or not of 50 µM of ADU-S100 STING agonist for 3 h and analysis of gene expression. WB analyses were conducted using indicated antibodies and are representative of three independent experiments. (I) T98G cells were treated or not with 2 µM of NU7441 prior to addition or not of 10 µM of diABZI for 3 h and analysis of gene expression. WB analyses were conducted using indicated antibodies and are representative of three independent experiments. (J) Control and DNA-PKcs knockout THP-1 cells were treated with 1 µM E7766 for 6 h prior to gene expression analysis. Graphs present mean (±SEM), n = 3 independent experiments. Statistical significance was calculated by two-tailed Student's t test. (K) Control and DNA-PKcs knockout THP-1 cells were treated with 10 µM diABZI for 6 h prior to gene expression analysis. Graphs present mean (±SEM); n = 3 independent experiments. Statistical significance was calculated by two-tailed Student's t test. ****: P < 0.0001; ***: P < 0.001; **: P < 0.01; *: P < 0.05.
