Figure Lengend Snippet: Cell surface expression of CD300A and CD300C in human hematopoietic cells. A, analysis of CD300A or CD300C expression in hematopoietic cells derived from human PB. FSChighSSChigh populations in neutrophils or eosinophils or FSClow/intSSClow/int populations in basophils, T cells, B cells, monocytes, NK cells, or PDCs were gated. The cells were stained with FITC-conjugated anti-CD3, CD19, CD56, BDCA-2, CD123, or CD16 mAb or allophycocyanin-conjugated anti-CD14 mAb and analyzed for CD300A or CD300C expression. B, human PB-derived Mφ-1 or Mφ-2 were stained with R-PE-conjugated anti-CD11b, CD14, or HLR-DR mAb or FITC-conjugated CD11c mAb and were analyzed for CD300A or CD300C expression. C, human monocyte-derived DCs were cultured for 24 h in the presence or absence of 1 ng/ml LPS or 10 ng/ml TNFα. The cells were stained with R-PE-conjugated anti-CD80, CD83, or CD86 mAb and were analyzed for CD300A or CD300C expression. D, human PB-derived mast cells were analyzed for CD300A or CD300C expression. The results of control staining are shown as filled histograms. All of the data are representative of three independent experiments.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Real-time quantitative PCR analyses of HDFs stimulated with IL-17A (100 ng/ml) and TNF-α (10 ng/ml) alone or together for 24 h. The results demonstrate that both IL-17A and TNF-α induce significant increases in IL-6, IL-8, and CXCL-1 mRNA expression and IL-17A/TNF-α stimulation have additive or synergistic effect on IL-6, IL-8, and CXCL-1 mRNA expression . Additionally, IL-17A induces the mRNA expression of TNFR-2 and TNF-α induces IL-17RA and IL-17RC expression on HDFs. The data (fold change) are from one representative experiment performed in triplicate, repeated three times with similar results. HDFs, human dermal fibroblasts.

doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2017.00091

Figure Lengend Snippet: Real-time quantitative PCR analyses of HDFs treated with IL-17A (100 ng/ml)/TNF-α (10 ng/ml), UVB (30 mJ/cm 2 ), and TGF-β1 (2 ng/ml) for 24 h . (A) IL-17A/TNF-α-stimulated HDFs increase expression of IL-6, IL-8, and CXCL-1 mRNA, which are also seen in 30 mJ/cm 2 UVB-irradiated HDFs. But UVB irradiation inhibits IL-17A/TNF-α-induced IL-6, IL-8, and CXCL-1 mRNA expression of HDFs. IL-17A/TNF-α stimulation induce the expression of TNFR-2, IL-17RA, and IL-17RC mRNA. UVB irradiation upregulates the expression of TNFR-1 and TNFR-2 mRNA but downregulates IL-17RA and IL-17RC expression, and inhibits IL-17A/TNF-α-induced IL-17RA and IL-17RC mRNA expression. IL-17A/TNF-α and UVB treatment do not induce significant expression of TGF-β1 mRNA 24 h after culture, but Smad3 mRNA is upregulated in both UVB irradiation and IL-17A/TNF-α + UVB groups. (B) TGF-β1 significantly induces the Smad3 mRNA expression and downregulates the IL-17RA and IL-17RC expression in HDFs. The data (fold change) are from one representative experiment performed in triplicate, repeated three times with similar results. UVB, ultraviolet B; HDFs, human dermal fibroblasts. Statistical significance indicated: * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Protein detection by using Western blot, ELISA analysis, and flow cytometry . (A) Western blot of HDFs lysates confirms mRNA expression of IL-6, IL-8, and CXCL-1 at the protein level, although shows no significant increase in IL-8 protein of UVB group compared with Control group and no significant decrease in IL-6 and CXCL-1 protein of IL-17A/TNF-α + UVB group compared with IL-17A/TNF-α group. (B) ELISA analysis of the supernatant confirms mRNA expression of IL-6, IL-8, and CXCL-1 at the protein level. (C) The expression of IL-17RA and IL-17RC mRNA is confirmed by flow cytometry for detection of the surface expression of IL-17RA and IL-17RC on HDFs.
