PSTreg express high amounts of IL-10 and TGF-β1. Supernatants from Treg and Teff cocultures were harvested after 7 h and 96 h. IL-10 (a), TGF-β1 (b) and IFN-γ (c) were quantified with BD™ CBA Flex Set analysis and ELISA. Data represents 4-14 independent experiments from 4–8 donors. ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05, NS, non-significant, p > 0.05. ANOVA with Bonferroni’s Multiple Comparison Test was used to determine the statistical significance. The cells of the functional assay were also harvested after coculture for 96 h, and RNA was isolated and the indicated mRNA was quantified by RT-PCR. Relative expression of IL-10, TGFB1 (d) and IL-35 related mRNA (e) in PP to other groups was shown, PN, NP, NN as control. Data represents 7 independent experiments from 6 donors. ACTB, G6PDH or CYPB mRNA were determined from the same sample and used as endogenous reference genes. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to determine the p values.
