Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 3. IL-17C expression is upregulated in autoimmune hepatitis. (A and B) WT mice were intravenously injected with 12 mg/kg Con A. (A) Relative mRNA expression of IL-17C at different time points in liver of Con A–treated WT mice, n = 5 for each group. (B and C) Representative image of liver sections from control and Con A–treated mice (B) or angioma and AIH patients (C) that were stained for IL-17C by immunohistochemistry. Scale bars, 100 mm (left and middle) and 50 mm (right), respectively. (D) Representative images of liver sections from control and Con A–treated mice (upper panel) or angioma and AIH patients (lower panel) that were stained for IL-17RE by immunohistochemistry. Scale bars, 100 mm (left and middle) and 50 mm (right), respectively. (E) IL-17C mRNA expression in different cell types isolated from liver of normal (n = 4) or Con A–treated mice (n = 6) at 8 h post injection. (F) IL-17C mRNA expression in liver of WTand Rag12/2 mice 8 h after Con A injection, n = 4–5 mice per group. (G) IL-17C mRNA expression in mouse primary hepatocytes treated for 4 h with IL-6 (20 ng/ml), IL-4 (20 ng/ml), IL-1a (10 ng/ml), IL-17A (50 ng/ml), IFN-g (20 ng/ml), IL-1b (10 ng/ml), TNF-a (10 ng/ml). Data shown are representative of two independent experiments. *p , 0.05, **p , 0.01, ***p , 0.001.
Article Snippet: Immunohistochemical staining was performed using a rabbit antimouse IL-17C polyclonal Ab (Bioss) or a goat anti-human IL-17C polyclonal Ab (R&D), rabbit anti-mouse/human IL-17RE polyclonal Ab (Biorbyt), and then incubated with a HRP-labeled secondary Ab and followed by 3,39-diaminobenzidine staining.
