Figure Lengend Snippet: CRP reduces Th17 responses in splenocytes from WT mice.Splenocytes and CD4 + T cells were isolated from WT mice to distinguish the indirect and direct regulations of CRP on Th17. (A) The protein expression levels of IL-17 and IFN- γ were measured with CRP treatment in both splenocytes and CD4 + T cells by ELISA (n = 6). (B) The mRNA expression levels of IL-17 and IFN- γ were measured with CRP treatment in both splenocytes and CD4 + T cells by qPCR (n = 4). (C) Splenocytes and CD4 + T cells were cultured with CRP in Th17 and Th1 polarization conditions, then ROR γ t, T-bet, p-STAT-3, and p-STAT-1 were examined by WB. (D) The quantitative and statistical analysis of the WB results was presented (n = 3). Data are presented as mean ± SEM; p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
