Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Inhibit the Function of Dendritic Cells by Secreting Galectin-1

Figure 11

Effect of Gal-1 on DC phenotype in each group was detected by flow cytometry. (a, b) MSCs and Gal-1 downregulate the expression of costimulatory molecules on the surface of DCs. After adding TDG, the inhibitory effect of MSCs on the costimulatory molecules was compromised (, versus DC only group, versus MSC + DC + TDG group, versus MSC + DC + TDG group).
