Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Bone marrow-derived macrophages were rested overnight and stimulated with TLR agonists for 24 hours. The concentration of IL-12 p40, TNF and IL-6 in the supernatants was measured by ELISA. The results are displayed as relative cytokine levels, with the values found for WT macrophages at the highest concentration set to 1. Data are mean +/- SEM of 5 independent experiments. (B) Bone marrow-derived macrophages were stimulated with 1 ng/ml LPS for the indicated times and concentrations of cytokines in the supernatants were measured by ELISA. Relative values were derived by setting the WT time 0 value to 1. Data are mean +/- SEM of 3 independent experiments. (C and D) Macrophages were stimulated with 1 ng/ml LPS for indicated times and Brefeldin A was added for the last 2 hours of stimulation. TNF and IL-12 p40 production was measured by intracellular cytokine staining and flow cytometry. (C) Representative data of IL-12 p40 and TNF staining at 8 hours of LPS stimulation. Gating shows cytokine positive cells. (D) The kinetics of IL-12 p40- and TNF-positive macrophages after LPS stimulation as assessed by the gating strategy in (C) The data in (D) are shown as mean +/- SEM of 3 independent experiments. (E) Relative IFNP gene expression in macrophages stimulated with 1 ng/ml LPS was analyzed by qPCR, with results normalized to GAPDH mRNA levels and the WT 8 hour time point set to 1. The data shown are mean +/- SEM of 4 independent experiments. *p< 0.05, **p<0.01 and ***p<0.001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Bone marrow-derived macrophages were stimulated with either LPS or CpG DNA for 24 hours and IL-10 secretion was measured by ELISA. Data are shown as mean +/- SEM of 3 independent experiments. (B) WT (n=3) and Itgb2-/- (n=3) mice were injected i.p with 1 mg/kg LPS. Blood was collected at indicated time points and IL-10 concentration was determined by ELISA. Data are shown as mean +/- SEM from one representative experiment. (C) Macrophages were treated with 10 ng/mL IL-10 for 30 minutes prior to stimulation with 1 ng/ml LPS. Cytokine production was assessed by ELISA. Data are shown as mean + SD of triplicate wells from one experiment, and are representative of 3 independent experiments. (D) The percent decrease in cytokine production was determined by normalizing to IL-10 production generated by TLR stimulation without exogenous IL-10 treatment. Results are displayed as mean +/- SEM of 3 independent experiments. (E) Relative inhibitor expression was determined by qPCR after stimulation of macrophages with 1 ng/ml LPS for the indicated time points. Expression levels for each inhibitor were normalized to GAPDH with the WT 4 hour time point set to 1, and the results are displayed as mean +/- SEM of 3 or 4 independent experiments. (F) and (G) Western blot for A20 (F) and phospho-p38 and phospho-ERK (G) expression in 1 ng/mL LPS-stimulated macrophages, with β actin as a loading control. The data are representative of 2 (F) and 3 (G) independent experiments. *p< 0.05.
