Fig. 2. NaCl accelerated activation of bone marrow cell-derived dendritic cells in vitro.

Fig. 2

a Sodium chloride (20 mM) or control medium was added to the cultures of ALD-DNA-DCs for 24 h, and then the activation and maturation status of dendritic cells was analyzed by flow cytometry to compare the two groups. b, c Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells from C57BL/6 mice were pretreated with 10 ng/ml LPS and/or 20 mM NaCl for 24 h. These cells were collected for coculture with CFSE-labeled T cells from Balb/c mice for mixed lymphocyte reactions. Flow cytometry analysis of CFSE, which indicates T cell proliferation and indirectly represents the antigen-presenting ability of dendritic cells (b). A CBA cytokine kit was used to measure mediators in the supernatants after DC-T cell coculture for 72 h (c). The results are presented as the mean ± s.e.m. from three independent experiments. ns indicates no significance, **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.0005, and ****p < 0.0001 using paired Student’s t-tests.
