IL-17F induced cell death is iNOS dependent in mouse islets. NOD islets were stimulated with IL-17F or IL-17A in the presence of (A) IFNγ or (B) TNFα for 4 h and Nos2 expression measured by Taqman quantitative RT-PCR (n = 5 for all groups), p < 0.05 (*), p < 0.01 (**) One-Way ANOVA with Bonferonni’s Multiple Comparison test. (C) Min6 cells, (D) NOD islets and (E) C57Bl/6 islets were stimulated with IL-17F or IL-17A in the presence of TNFα + IFNγ (Cyto) for 24 h and Nos2 expression measured by Taqman quantitative RT-PCR (n = 4 for Min6 cells and C57Bl/6 islets, n = 6 for NOD islets), p < 0.05 (*), p < 0.001 (***) One-Way ANOVA with Bonferonni’s Multiple Comparison test. (F) NOD islets were stimulated with IL-17F or IL-17A and TNFα + IFNγ (Cyto) +/− Jnk inhibitor (SP600125) at 50 μM for 24 h and Nos2 expression measured by Taqman quantitative RT-PCR (n = 2 for all groups), p < 0.001 (***) Two-Way ANOVA with Bonferonni’s Multiple Comparison test. (G) NOD islets were stimulated with IL-17F or IL-17A and TNFα + IFNγ (Cyto) ± p38 inhibitor (SB203580) at 20 μM for 24 h and Nos2 expression measured by Taqman quantitative RT-PCR (n = 2 for all groups), p < 0.001 (***) Two-Way ANOVA with Bonferonni’s Multiple Comparison test. (H) NOD islets were stimulated with IL-17F or IL-17A and TNFα + IFNγ (Cyto) ± NF-κB inhibitor (BAY11-7082) at 10 μM for 24 h and Nos2 expression measured by Taqman quantitative RT-PCR (n = 2 for all groups), p < 0.01 (**) Two-Way ANOVA with Bonferonni’s Multiple Comparison test. (I) NOD islets were stimulated with IL-17F or IL-17A in the presence of TNFα + IFNγ (Cyto) for 4 days ± NMMA (1 mM) and cell death quantified by DNA fragmentation (n = 2 for all groups), p < 0.01 (**) One-Way ANOVA with Bonferonni’s Multiple Comparison test.
