    Decreased MPO + , CD11b + , and MHC class II + neutrophils in MyD88 (PKO) - and <t>DKK1</t> (PKO) -infected mice (A–G) Six-week-old female WT-BALB/c, MyD88 (PKO) and DKK1 (PKO) mice were challenged with infective metacyclic promastigote (2 ×10 6 parasites, n = 5 per group) of L . major via the footpad. Non-infected BALB/c mice ( n = 10/2 feet per mouse) were given 0.9% NaCl saline. Cells were isolated from the footpads of all infected and non-infected mice at days 3 and 14 PI. Samples were analyzed by flow cytometry for MPO + , CD11b + , and MHC class II + neutrophils. A representative flow cytometry dot plot of MPO + , CD11b + , and MHC class II + neutrophils on day 3 is presented in . The percentage of MPO + , CD11b + , and MHC class II + cells in the different experimental groups is shown in column graphs (A, B, C, D, E, and F), while the absolute number of neutrophils obtained on day 3 PI is indicated (G). In all experiments, infected and non-infected BALB/c mice served as positive and negative controls, respectively. Results are presented as mean (±SEM) and are representative of two independent experiments. One-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s post hoc test was used to analyze the data ∗ p < 0.05; ∗∗ p < 0.01; ∗∗∗ p < 0.001; ns, non-significant ( p > 0.05).

    Elevated IL-10 and reduced IL-12 production in rDKK1-treated dendritic cells (A and B) Monocyte-derived dendritic cells were incubated in r-DKK1(100 ng/mL), r-IL-10 (20 ng/mL), r-TNF-α (10 ng/mL) or r-TNF-α + r-DKK1. Cell culture supernatants harvested 24 and 48 h post-incubation were used to determine IL-10 and IL-12 production by ELISA, as shown in the bar graphs (A and B). Results are presented as mean ± SEM and are representative of triplicate experiments. One-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s post hoc test was used to analyze the data (∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01). “ns” indicates not significant.

    rDKK1-treated dendritic cells significantly increased the percentage of IL-10-producing CD4 T cells (A and B) Rested immature dendritic cells were stimulated with 100 ng/mL of recombinant DKK1 or 10 ng/mL of recombinant TNF-α for 24 h. The rDKK1 and r-TNF-α-treated dendritic cells were incubated for 4 h in a 24-well plate (2 × 10 5 per well) in 200 μL of medium in the presence of SLAG (100 ng/ml). SLAG-loaded rDKK1 and r-TNF-α-treated dendritic cells (2 ×10 5 ) were then washed and co-cultured with infected WT-BALB/c lymph node T cells (1 ×10 6 ) in complete RPMI 1640 medium in a 1:5 ratio for 72 h. The cells were surface-stained with appropriate antibodies before intracellular IL-10 staining with a cell stimulation cocktail and BD Golgi plug. The stained lymph node cells from the experimental condition were determined for the percentage of CD4 + IL-10 + T cells by flow cytometry. Representative flow cytometry dot plots showed the analysis of CD4 + IL-10 + T cells (A). The percentage of CD4 + IL-10 + T cells in the different experimental conditions is indicated (B). The non-treated and r-TNF-α-treated dendritic cells serve as controls. Results are presented as mean ± SEM and are representative of three replicate experiments. One-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s post hoc test was used to analyze the data ∗∗∗ p < 0.001; ns indicates not significant ( p > 0.05).

    Lesion size and parasite burden decreased in MyD88 (PKO) - and DKK1 (PKO) -infected mice (A–C) Six-week-old female WT-BALB/c, MyD88 (PKO) and DKK1 (PKO) mice were challenged with infective metacyclic promastigote (2 ×10 6 parasites) of L . major via the footpad. The infected foot from each mouse in BALB/c, MyD88 (PKO) - and DKK1 (PKO) -infected mice ( n = 5 per group) were measured for lesion size weekly using a vernier caliper (A), and parasite burden (at day week 6 and 15PI) was determined by limiting dilution assay (B and C). Results are presented as mean ± SEM. For Figure (A), mice in each infected group were compared with the non-infected group and data analysis was done using one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s post hoc test ∗ p < 0.05; ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001.
