Both undifferentiated ASC and ASC-derived adipocytes (adipose cells, AC) polarize T cells toward the Th17 lineage and down-regulate Th1 cytokines. ASC differentiation was carried out for 8 d or 14 d as indicated. Cell culture supernatants of MNC co-cultured or not with undifferentiated ASC (light gray bars), differentiated adipocytes at day 8 (gray bars) or at day 14 (black bars), and activated by PHA or not, were analyzed by ELISA for the secretion of IL-17A (A) and TNFα (B). Co-cultures were in a 1:5 ratio (20,000 ASC/adipocytes for 100,000 MNC). Error bars represent standard deviations from n ≥ 3 independent experiments. ***p < 0.001 as tested by one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's multiple comparison test. n.s not statistically significant for each combinatorial comparisons within the 3 bars.
