TREM-1 Modulates Dendritic Cells Maturation and Dendritic Cell-Mediated T-Cell Activation Induced by ox-LDL

Figure 5

T-cell polarization-related transcription factors, TBX21, GATA3, RORC, and FOXP3 gene expressions, were evaluated by real-time PCR. ox-LDL-treated DCs strongly induced TBX21 and/or RORC expression in naïve T-cell populations. However, TREM-1 inhibition suppressed the expression of TBX21 and RORC while inducing the expression of FoxP3. Results represent the of seven experiments. , compared with control cells; , compared with ox-LDL-treated cells.
