DC generation from monocytes with anti-inflammatory cytokines exhibited tolerogenic phenotype and produced anti-inflammatory cytokines. TolDC and C5-DC were harvested after maturation and characterized by flow cytometry, anti-CD14, anti-CD83, anti-CD80, anti-CD86 anti-B7-H1 and anti-B7-DC antibodies were used. (a) Histogram, (b) dot chart of MFI ratio tolDC to C5-DC. Data represent 26 independent experiments from 9 donors (CD86: n = 8). Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to determine p values. (c) IL-10, IL-12p70, TGF-β1 and IFN-γ quantification in DC supernatants using BD CBA Flex Set and ELISA. These data represent 10–19 independent experiments from 9 donors. Culture medium plus maturation cocktail without cells were used as control. Turkey test was used to determine the statistical significance. ***p < 0.001. RNA was isolated from tolDC and C5-DC, and quantified by RT-PCR, (d) Relative RNA level of IL-35 and related genes, IL-10, TGFB1 in tolDC, C5-DC as control. ACTB, G6PDH or CYPB mRNA were determined from the same sample and used as endogenous reference genes. These data represent 7 independent experiments from 6 donors. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to determine p values. Error bars: s.e.m.
