Article Title: Pseudopterosin A-D Modulates Dendritic Cell Activation in Skin Sensitization
doi: 10.3390/md23060245
Figure Lengend Snippet: Pseudoperosin (Ps)A-D reduces the nickel sulfate (NiSO 4 ) induced upregulation of DC activation markers CD54 and CD86 in a similar manner as dexamethasone. THP-1-derived dermal dendritic cell surrogates (DDCs) were seeded with 1 × 10 6 cells/mL into a 24-well plate. Cells were pre-treated with dexamethasone [1 µM] or PsA-D [20 µM] for 1 h, followed by NiSO 4 [380 µM] treatment for 23 h. Surface marker analysis was performed via flow cytometry and is depicted as histograms ( A ) and percentage of positive cells ( B ). Error bars indicate the standard errors of the mean ( n = 3 independent experiments with * = p ≤ 0.05 and ** = p ≤ 0.01).
Article Snippet: Cells were stained with the following antibodies (diluted 1:50) for 10 min at 4 °C in the dark: REA Control (S)-APC (Miltenyi Biotec, #130-113-434), CD54-APC (Miltenyi Biotec, #130-121-342), and CD86-APC (Miltenyi Biotec, #130-116-161).
