Yogurt ingestion prevents NS-induced decDC dysfunction. Nurses took milk (100 ml) (n = 20) or yogurt (100 g) (n = 20) during NS for one month. Blood samples were collected from each nurse before and after the ingestion of milk or yogurt. PBMCs were isolated from the samples; decDCs were further isolated from PBMCs. CD4+ CD25 T cells were isolated from blood samples collected from healthy subjects. DCs and T cells were cocultured at a ratio of 1:5 for 4 days in the presence of IL-2 (10 ng/ml), PMA (0.1 µM) and ionomycin (100 ng/ml). (A) cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. DCs were gated out first (not shown). Frequency of Tr1 cells in remained T cells was determined. The gated dot plots show frequency of Tr1 cells. (B) Summarized data of panel A. (C) IL-10 levels in the culture supernatant (by ELISA). (D,E) decDCs were analyzed by Western blotting. The immunoblots show protein levels of HDAC11 (D) and Bmal1 (E) in decDCs. Each dot of (B,C) present data obtained from one sample. Statistics: ANOVA + Bonferroni test.
