a Flow cytometric analysis of IL-17A and IFNγ following TH17 polarization with lipids extracted from spinal cord of naive, EAE or AMP-DNM treated EAE mice, n = 4 biological replicates. b Measurement of β-glucosylceramide from the spinal cord of naive, EAE and AMP-DNM treated EAE mice, n = 3, 5, 4 biological replicates. c Flow cytometric analysis of IL-17A and IFNγ following TH17 polarization with lipids extracted from supernatants of oligodendrocytes after the indicated treatments, n = 4 biological replicates. d Measurement of β-glucosylceramide from the oligodendrocyte culture medium under indicated stimulations for 12 h, n = 3 biological replicates. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 (Two sided student’s t test).
