Figure Lengend Snippet: Using RNA sequencing analysis of HaCaT cells, we compared the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from IL-13-treatment (CTL vs IL-13 [10 ng/mL] for 24 hours) to DEGs from IL-13+FICZ treatment (IL-13 [10 ng/mL] vs IL-13 [10 ng/mL] + FICZ [1 µM]) to model AD vs AD+AHR activation. A. Diagram showing differentially expressed genes regulated by IL-13 treatment alone (CTL vs IL-13, 308 genes) as well as a subgroup of these genes which were also regulated by AHR (IL-13 vs IL-13+FICZ, 36 genes, 10.5% of IL-13-regulated genes). B. Heat map of the log2-transformed fold change of the 36 shared genes in (A), sorted first by genes that changed direction (blue box, 24/36 genes, 2/3 of genes), followed by fold change (high to low) in the IL-13 group.). C. Gene Ontology relationships of the 36 shared genes were analyzed.
Article Snippet: Supernatants from HaCaT cells were collected, centrifuged at 4°C for 5 min at 5000 g and middle layers collected and stored at −80°C until analysis using Human CCL26/Eotaxin-3 DuoSet ELISA from R&D Systems/Bio-Techne (Cat. No. DY346, Minneapolis, MN, USA).
