Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 7 | LsAg treatment improves CD4+ T cell inflammation in an adiponectin dependent manner. (A) Schematic diagram of LsAg treatment in obese mice. (B,C) Frequencies of IFN-γ + (B) and IL-17+ (C) CD4+ T cells in the adipose tissue of PBS and LsAg treated mice (pooled data from n = 2 experiments, 3–4 mice each). (D,E) CD4+ T cells positive for IFN-γ (D) and IL-17 (E) from high fat diet (HFD) mice cultured in the presence of adipocyte conditioned media from PBS and LsAg treated mice. (F,G) Plasma and adipocyte conditioned media adiponectin levels in PBS and LsAg-administered HFD mice. (H,I) Frequencies of CD4+ T cells from HFD mice after co-culture with anti-adiponectin (anti-ADPN) antibody and isotype control treated adipocyte conditioned media from LsAg treated mice (pooled data from n = 3 experiments, 2–3 conditions each). Two-tailed non-parametric Mann–Whitney U-test was performed for statistical analysis.
Article Snippet: For adiponectin neutralization experiments, adipocyte conditioned media was treated overnight with 10μg/ml of adiponectinneutralizing antibody (anti-adiponectin, AF1119, anti-mAcrp30; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN., USA) or isotype control antigoat IgG (10μg/ml; R&D Systems) (34).
