The coculture model did not suppress the growth of DPCs. A Illustration of the DPCs and THP-1 coculture model and LPS treatment. B-C DPCs were cocultured with different ratios of THP-1 cells with 100 nM PMA and cultivated for 6 days. [B-1] THP-1: DPCs = 1:0 (pure THP-1 in THP-1 culture medium); [B-2] THP-1: DPCs = 0:1 (pure DPCs in THP-1 culture medium); [B-3] THP-1: DPCs = 1:1000 (in THP-1 culture medium); [B-4] THP-1: DPCs = 1:100 (in THP-1 culture medium); [B-5] THP-1: DPCs = 1:10 (in THP-1 culture medium); [B-6] THP-1: DPCs = 1:2 (in THP-1 culture medium); [B-7] THP-1: DPCs = 1:1 (in THP-1 culture medium); [B-8] THP-1: DPCs = 0:1 (pure DPCs in DPCs culture medium) (B) The cell morphology results. THP-1 cells and DPCs did not affect the morphology of each other. Magnification × 40. C The growth curve of cocultured DPCs and THP-1 cells. The growth trends of DPCs of [B-2] to [B-7] groups were similar in the coculture model. The data were expressed as the mean ± SD of triplicate wells form one experiment. ns, no significance; *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.005; compared with the [B-2] THP-1: DPCs = 0:1 (pure DPCs in THP-1 culture medium) untreated control group. Two-way ANOVA
