doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0341049

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Inhibition of IL-17 bioactivity as secreted by human TH17 cells and assayed by a reporter cell assay. Dotted lines represent positive and negative assay controls. 1 representative of 7 experiments with different donors is shown. The error bars represent the SEM. (B, C) Evaluation of DC-806 in rat CIA. Rats were randomized on Day 11 and dosed as indicated. Daily measurements of ankle thickness (B) and terminal measurement of footpad weights (C) were used as efficacy readouts. (D) Preclinical evaluation of DC-806 serum levels. PK sampling for exposure determination was performed on Days 11, 16, at 1 and 12 hours post dose. The dotted lines represent the uncorrected IC 50 for rat IL-17AA and rat IL-17AF as listed in . The dashed line represents the LLQ of the quantification assay. All error bars represent the SEM. * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001; **** P < 0.0001. Abbreviations : anti-F, anti-IL-17F; BID, twice daily; CIA, collagen-induced arthritis; Dex, dexamethasone; IC 50 , half-maximal inhibitory concentration; IL-17, interleukin-17; LLQ, lower limit of quantification; PK, pharmacokinetic; QD, once daily; SEM, standard error of mean; TH17, T-helper 17.

Article Snippet: Serum IL-17A level was measured using Quantikine ® High Sensitivity (HS) Human IL-17 Immunoassay kit #HS170 (R&D Systems), which mostly detects IL-17AA with approximately 3% cross-reactivity to IL-17AF [ ].

Techniques: Inhibition, Sampling, Concentration Assay

Figure Lengend Snippet: Graph detailing the group mean ± SD DC-806 plasma concentration by 200 mg BID (green circle) and 800 mg BID (blue diamond) groups on a semilogarithmic scale through Study Day 29. PK in psoriasis patients was comparable to healthy volunteer PK, with consistent trough levels over 28 days after achieving steady state around Day 3. The dotted line represents IC 50 for recombinant human IL-17AA, as obtained using HEK-blue IL-17 cell-based assay . PK Concentration Analysis Set. Abbreviations : BID, twice daily; HEK: human embryonic kidney; IC 50 , half-maximal inhibitory concentration; IL-17, interleukin-17; PK, pharmacokinetic; SD, standard deviation.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A–C) DC-806 demonstrated biological effects as evidenced by dose-dependent responses of biomarkers of interest compared to placebo. Blue diamonds represent the 800 mg BID group; Green circles represent the 200 mg BID group; Black triangles represent the placebo group. (A) Change in mean ± SEM serum IL-17AA levels from time of first dose through 28 days post first dose. The dotted line represents low limit of quantification of the assay. (B) Change in mean ± SEM serum BD-2 levels from time of first dose through 28 days thereafter. *Except on Day 28 when n = 10; **Except on Day 28 when n = 9. (C) Change in mean ± SEM plasma IL-19 levels from time of first dose through 28 days post first dose. The dotted line represents normalization value of 21 pg/mL. PD Biomarker Analysis Set. Abbreviations: BD-2, beta defensin-2; BID, twice daily; BL, baseline; IL-17, interleukin-17; PASI, psoriasis area and severity index; PD, pharmacodynamic; SEM, standard error of mean.

doi: 10.64898/2026.01.18.698756

Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic in the left panel shows that animals were individually housed in cages equipped with running wheels, and wheel revolutions were monitored daily using automated software. Rats were fed either curcumin or almond butter (vehicle) diet balls. Schematic in the right panel shows the timeline and overview of experimental procedures. Following behavioral testing, blood samples were collected for ELISA-based cytokine and chemokine analysis. Small intestine segments were harvested for Peyer’s patch analysis using ImageJ. Fecal samples were collected for microbiome analysis.

Article Snippet: Quantikine® high-sensitivity colorimetric sandwich ELISA kits (R&D Systems) were used to quantify levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α; RTA00), interferon gamma (IFN-γ; RIF00), interleukin-6 (IL-6; R6000B), cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant-1 (CXCL1/CINC-1; RCN100), and interleukin-4 (IL-4; R4000).
