Suboptimal Th17 differentiation in RPMI medium. (A) Scatter plots showing the percentage of IL-17 polarization from individual experiments with CD4 T cells from B6 (filled triangles) or AhR-deficient mice (open circles) cultured under Th17-polarizing conditions in IMDM or RPMI in the presence or absence of AhR antagonist (left). P value control versus AhR antagonist for B6 are <0.001; between IMDM and RPMI B6 control values P < 0.001. Data from four independent experiments are shown. (right) Percentage of IFN-γ producers (filled diamonds) or Foxp3 expression (open squares) in B6 CD4 T cells cultured under Th1 or iT reg cell conditions, respectively in IMDM or RPMI. P value for iT reg cell generation in IMDM versus RPMI is P < 0.01. (B) Total CD4 T cells purified from PBMCs of human blood and stimulated under Th17 conditions in IMDM (left) or RPMI (right) medium in the absence (top) or presence (bottom) of AhR antagonist. IL-17 versus IFN-γ intracellular staining is shown in the dot plots. The scatter plot shows the percentage of IL-17 producers from three different individuals (representing three independent experiments) obtained in IMDM versus RPMI medium.
