CHBP inhibited DC maturation in vitro. BM cells from Wistar rats were plated in 24-well plates with rGM-CSF (20 ng/ml) and rIL-4 (10 ng/ml) with or without CHBP (20 nmol/l). Cells were cultured for 8 days to induce imDCs and LPS was added in the culture system for another 24 h to induce mDCs. (a) The expression of MHC-II, CD80 and CD86 on mDCs was examined by flow cytometry. (b) Levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-12 and IL-10 in the supernatant were detected using ELISA. (c) The proliferation of T cells inhibited by DCs with or without CHBP incubation was evaluated by MLR (d) Direct effect of CHBP on T cells proliferation was examined by T cells proliferation assay. Results are mean±S.D. from three independent experiments. #P<0.05 imDC+CHBP versus mDC, *P<0.05 imDC+CHBP versus imDC+Vehicle
