Figure Lengend Snippet: As 2 O 3 affects Treg and Th17 cells differentiation. (A,B) Schematic representative of Th17 and Treg-cell differentiation. (C,D) ELISA of IL-17A and MMP13 in supernatants of Th17 cells polarized, IL-10 and TGF-β release in supernatants of Treg-cell production in the presence or absence of As 2 O 3 (0.5 µM), measured after 24 h of restimulation with anti-CD3/CD28. (E,F) RT-qPCR analysis of the expression RORγt for Th17 cells, of STAT5 in Treg cells. Cycling threshold (CT) values are normalized to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). Data are represented as means ± SEM of six independent experiments. # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01 vs. nonpolarized CD4 + T cells; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 vs. Th17 cells nontreated with As 2 O 3 (one-way ANOVA).
Article Snippet: The cytokines IL-17A and IL-10 (D1700 and D1000, respectively, purchased from R&D systems, Minneapolis, United States) and MMP13 (E-EL-H0134c, Elabscience Biotechnology, Wuhan, China) were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
