Extended Data Fig. 8: TFPI2-CD51-STAT6 signaling mediates microglia-induced T cell suppression.

a, b, CT2A cancer cell cytotoxicity induced by activated mouse primary CD8+ T cells cocultured with SIM-A9 microglia treated with TFPI2 recombinant protein (20 ng/ml) in the presence or absence of STAT6 inhibitor (STAT6i) AS1517499 (25 nM). The ratios between CD8+ T cells and CT2A cells are indicated. n = 10 biological replicates. c, GSC272 cytotoxicity induced by activated JURKAT T cells cocultured with PrhMG treated with TFPI2 protein (20 ng/ml) in the presence or absence of AS1517499 (25 nM). The ratios between CD8+ T cells and CT2A cells are indicated. n = 10 biological replicates. d, Correlation between CD274 (PD-L1) and TFPI2, STAT6, or ITGAV (CD51) in TCGA GBM dataset. e, Correlation between PDCD1LG2 (PD-L2) and TFPI2, STAT6, or ITGAV (CD51) in TCGA GBM dataset. In (d, e), R and P values were determined by Pearson correlation. Error bars indicate mean ± SEM. One-way ANOVA test.
