Pectin inhibits toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2)–TLR1 activation in human dendritic cells and mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cells. (A) IL-10 and IL-6 levels in human dendritic cells after P3CSK4 activation with or without pectin DM7 or DM75 pretreatment (n = 5). (B) IL-6 levels in RAW264.7 cells after P3CSK4 activation with or without pectin DM7 or DM75 pretreatment (n = 3). Data are presented as the mean ± SD, and statistical significance was calculated using the Mann–Whitney U-test (*p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01).
