Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 1. Expression of IL-17A in synovial MCs from OA patients and from RA patients. Representative images of IL-17Aþ MCs (tryptaseþ cells) in synovia from an OA patient (A) and an RA patient (B). Immunochemical staining of synovia with anti-tryptase mAb (green, a) and anti-IL-17A (red, b) Ab, and a merged image (yellow, c). The cells were stained with DAPI (blue). The white arrow heads indicate tryptase-IL-17A double-positive cells. Bar ¼ 10 mm. (C) As negative controls, a synovium sample from an OA patient was stained with mouse IgG1 and goat IgG. The results are representative of separate analyses using 6 patients with OA and 6 patients with RA.

(A) IgE-sensitized MCs from patients with OA (white bars, n ¼ 4 donors) or from patients with RA (black bars, n ¼ 4 donors) were incubated with anti-IgE for 6 h. (B) MCs from patients with OA (n ¼ 4 donors) were incubated with 1 mg/ml of F(ab0)2aFcgRI (black bars) or F(ab0)2mIgG1 (white bars) for 30 min and were then stimulated with gF(ab0)2amF(ab0)2 for 6 h.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 4. IL-17A (A) and IL-8 production (B) from cultured synovium-derived MC following various stimulations. MCs from patients with OA (n ¼ 3 donors) were stimulated with TNF- a, C5a, LPS, or IL-23 plus IL-1b for 24 h. IL-17 levels were under the detection limit in 2 donors out of 3 donors. The data of IL-17A production from one donor are shown. The data of IL-8 production are shown as the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05.

doi: 10.3390/biomedicines9091095

Figure Lengend Snippet: Histologic examination of the lung tissue from SKG mice at 20 weeks after a curdlan injection with/without PLAG treatment. ( A ) Hematoxylin and eosin (upper panels) and Masson’s trichrome (lower panels) staining of the lung tissues. Severe lung inflammations were observed in the curdlan-induced SKG mice and these features were attenuated in the PLAG-treated curdlan-induced SKG mice. ( B ) Opal multiplexed immunofluorescent images and semi-quantitation of the total, GM-CSF + and IL-17A + neutrophil accumulation in the lung tissues. The GM-CSF + neutrophil accumulation was significantly decreased in the PLAG-treated curdlan-induced SKG mice compared with those without PLAG treatment whereas the IL-17A + neutrophil accumulation was not attenuated. The values represent the mean of three independent experiments ± SEM. * p < 0.05. PLAG: acetylated diacylglycerol 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-3-acetyl-rac-glycerol.
