DAC affects the production of inflammatory cytokines by DCs from VKH patients. CD14+ monocytes from VKH patients and normal controls were cultured for 6 days and then stimulated with 100 ng/ml LPS for 24 hours. The protein concentrations of IL-6, IL-1β, IL-23 and IL-12p70 in the supernatants were determined by ELISA. (A) The expression of IL-6, IL-1β, IL-23 and IL-12p70 was significantly increased in VKH patients compared with normal controls (n = 12, *p < 0.05,**p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001). (B) The protein concentrations of IL-6, IL-1β, IL-23 and IL-12p70 were reduced if cells (from VKH patients) were pretreated with 10 µM of DAC (n = 12, *p < 0.05). The data are shown as mean ± SEM. The paired-samples t-test was performed for the statistical analysis.
