PIAS3 reciprocally regulates the Th17/Treg cell imbalance. Spleen tissues were isolated from mice in each group at 10 weeks after curdlan injection. a Tissues were stained with specific Abs against CD4 (red), CD25 (blue), IL-17 (green), FOXP3 (green), p-STAT3 y705 (green), p-STAT3 s727 (green), p-STAT5 (green), and PIAS3 (green). Positive cells are shown in the bar graphs. b, c Splenocytes were stained with Abs against CD4–PerCP, IL-17–FITC, IFNγ-PE, CD25-APC, FOXP3–FITC, and PIAS3-APC to determine the presence of Th17, Tregs and PIAS3 expression on CD4+ T cells. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments (*P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001)
