D-Mannose Enhanced Immunomodulation of Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells via Inhibiting IL-6 Secretion

Figure 3

D-mannose inhibited IL-6 secretion of hPDLSCs to induce more T cell differentiation into Tregs. (a) Compared with T + G-hPDLSCs, less IL-6 could be detected in T + M-hPDLSCs. (b, c) Anti-IL-6 could increase the FoxP3 level in T + G-hPDLSCs. (d, e) Increased IL-6 could reduce the FoxP3 level in T + M-hPDLSCs. Student’s t-test was used to analyze statistical significance. All error bars represent s.d. (). and .
