Article Snippet: Cells were stimulated with concanavalin A (ConA, 0.625 μg/mL, MP Biomedicals), and lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 5 μg/mL, Sigma-Aldrich) for 48 h. For immunophenotyping, the cultures were supplemented with insulin (Humalog 100 U/mL, Eli Lilly, Indianapolis, IN, USA) 25 nM and/or the class I HDAC inhibitor (HDACi) valproate, 50 μg/mL (stock 200 mg/mL, Ergenyl, Sanofi, Paris, France) after 24 h.
