Data are from three independent experiment (n = 3). (b) Relative mRNA levels of Il-1β, Tnf-α, Il-6 and Ccl2 in CD11c+Ly6C−F4/80low-labeled islet-resident macrophages isolated from WT mice pretreated with or without 100 ng/ml PTX and in response to stimulations with 1 μM 9(S)-HODE, NOX-6-7 or vehicle for 24h. Approximately 6*104 CD11c+Ly6C−F4/80low-labeled islet-resident macrophages isolated from 18–24 WT mice (1*104 CD11c+ Ly6C−F4/80low cells/group), Data are from six independent experiments (n = 6).

(e, g) The cryo-EM images and data processing of NOX-6-7-GPR132-Gi1 complex. In total, 520250 particles were selected to construct EM density maps of the NOX-6-7-GPR132-Gi1 complex at an overall resolution of 3.0 Å. Cryo-EM micrograph (Scale bar: 50 nm) and reference-free two-dimensional class averages (Scale bar: 10 nm) of the NOX-6-7-GPR132-Gi1 complex (E). Workflow chart of cryo-EM data processing for the NOX-6-7-GPR132-Gi1 complex (F).

Cryo-EM map colored based on local resolution (in Extended Data Fig. 10f) for NOX-6-7-GPR132-Gi1 complex (right panel) (F). (h) Cryo-EM density map of the NOX-6-7-GPR132-Gi1 complex. NOX-6-7 is shown in blue, GPR132 in green, Gαi1 in yellow, Gβ in cyan, Gγ in pink and scFv16 in grey. (i) Effects of alanine scanning mutations of key residues in the ligand binding pocket of GPR132 in response to NOX-6-7 stimulation. The heatmap is colored according to the values of ΔpEC50 and Emax (ΔpEC50 = pEC50 of mutant-pEC50 of the wild type); nd, signal not detectable. (j) Effects of key residues allelic mutations that effect the ligand-binding pockets of GPR132 on other lipid-binding GPCRs in response to NOX-6-7 stimulation. The heatmap is colored according to the value of ΔpEC50 and Emax (ΔpEC50 = pEC50 of mutant-pEC50 of wild type); nd, signal not detectable. (B-C) ***P < 0.001, CD11c+Ly6C−F4/80low-labeled islet-resident macrophages isolated from WT mice treated with NOX-6-7 or 9(S)-HODE compared with those treated with vehicle. ###P < 0.001, CD11c+Ly6C−F4/80low-labeled islet-resident macrophages isolated from WT mice pretreated with 100 ng/ml PTX compared with those treated with vehicle in response to the stimulation with NOX-6-7. $$$P < 0.001, CD11c+Ly6C−F4/80low-labeled islet-resident macrophages isolated from WT mice pretreated with 100 ng/ml PTX compared with those treated with vehicle in response to the stimulation with 9(S)-HODE. The bars indicate the mean ± SEM values. Data were statistically analyzed using two-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post hoc test.
