IL-17F suppresses expression of β-cell identity genes and glucose stimulated insulin secretion in mouse islets. Min6 cells were stimulated with IL-17F or IL-17A in the presence of TNFα + IFNγ (Cyto) for 24 h and (A) Ins1, (B) Ins2, (C) Glut2, (D) Pdx1 and (E) Foxo1 expression measured by Taqman quantitative RT-PCR (n = 4 for all groups). NOD islets were stimulated with IL-17F or IL-17A in the presence of TNFα + IFNγ (Cyto) for 24 h and (F) Ins1, (G) Ins2, (H) Glut2, (I) Pdx1 and (J) Foxo1 expression measured by Taqman quantitative RT-PCR (n = 6 for all groups), p < 0.05 (*), p < 0.01 (**), p < 0.001 (***) One-Way ANOVA with Bonferonni’s Multiple Comparison test. (K) NOD islets were stimulated with IL-17F or IL-17A in the presence of TNFα + IFNγ (Cyto) for 48 h and glucose stimulated insulin secretion assay performed (3 independent experiments, n = 4 for all groups), p < 0.05 (*), p < 0.01 (**), p < 0.001 (***) Two-Way ANOVA with Bonferonni’s Multiple Comparison test.
