Experimental details: Figure 6. piR30840 regulates the development of Th2 lymphocytes. ( A and B ) Human CD4 naive cells were cultured in a conditioned medium for Th2 development and then transfected with an s30840 (A) or piR30840 inhibitor (B). IL-4 expression was detected by qRT-PCR and western blotting analyses. P < 0.01. The data represents three independent experiments. ( C ) Detection of IL-4 expression in human PBMCs isolated from humanized NOG mice. IL-4 expression was detected by qRT-PCR analysis. The data was expressed as the mean of three independent experiments. Wilcoxon test was used to calculate the P -value. P < 0.05. ( D ) CD4 naive cells were cultured in the conditioned medium for Th2 development and transfected with s30840 or control. After 7 days, the Th2 T-lymphocytes (intracellular stained as IL-4 + IFN-gamma - ) were detected with FACS analysis. The data was shown as a mean of six independent experiments. P < 0.01. ( E ) The CD4 naive cells were cultured in a conditioned medium for Th2 development with or without the transfection of inhibitor. We adoptively transferred the naive cells into the irradiated NOG mice which were first humanized. After 7 days, Th2 T-lymphocytes (intracellularly stained as IL-4 + IFNgamma - ) were detected by using FACS analysis. The data were expressed as the mean of six independent experiments. Statistical significance between two samples was determined by using the student's t -test. P < 0.01.

Experimental details: Figure 5 Blockade of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta I-III did in part prevent regulatory T cells (Treg) induction. ( A ) CFSE-labeled CD4 + CD25 - T cells were cocultured with platelets in the ratio of 1:50 and were stimulated with anti-CD3 mAb (0.5 ug/mL) and anti-CD28 mAb (1.0 ug/mL) in the presence of either anti-TGF-beta I-III (10 ug/mL) or anti-TGF-beta receptor II (10 ug/mL) antibodies. Antibodies were added at day 0. The expression of Foxp3 and GARP and cell proliferation were determined on day 3 via flow cytometry. ( B ) Production of IL-2 and IFN-gamma was assessed by intracellular flow cytometry on day 6. The graphs show cells cultured in the presence of platelets normalized to CD4 + CD25 - T cells without platelets.

Experimental details: Fig. 3 Changes in the percentages and absolute numbers of Th1 and Th2 cells in SFTS patients. (A): Th1 cells (CD4 + IFN-gamma+) and Th2 cells (CD4 + IL-4+) by flow cytometry in the healthy controls, surviving SFTS patients, and deceased SFTS patients, as defined by flow cytometry. The cells were gated on the CD3 + CD4+ population within the single-cell lymphocyte gate.

(C), (E): The percentages and numbers of Th1 and Th2 cells at admission in the surviving patients (n = 30) and the deceased patients (n = 12). (F), (G): Dynamic changes in the percentages and numbers of Th1 and Th2 cells in the surviving patients (n = 30) and the deceased patients (n = 12). These parameters were monitored at indicated time points for the entire hospital stay of the patients, and the dashed line represents the median of the uninfected controls. The data are shown as the median +- 95% CI. Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test or the Wilcoxon matched pair test. The level of significance is indicated as follows: ns, not significant; *p < .05; **p < .01; ***p < .001; ****p < .0001; Fig. 3

Experimental details: Figure 4 CD16 + monocytes promoted T-cell-mediated inflammation in SLE . CD16 + or CD16 - monocytes were cocultured with CD4 + T cells isolated from freshly collected SLE blood or blood bank collected HC blood buffy coat for 5 days in the presence of anti-CD3 (1 mug/mL) and anti-CD28 (1 mug/mL) antibodies and M-CSF (50 ng/mL). Intracellular IFN-gamma, IL-4, and IL-17A expression was detected by flow cytometry after PMA (50 ng/mL), ionomycin (1 mug/mL), and BFA (10 mug/mL) stimulation for 5 h on day 5. The percentage of Treg (CD4 + Foxp3 + ) was also analyzed. Representative pseudocolor dots depicted Th1 (A) , Th2 (B) , Th17 (C) , and Treg (D) frequencies in CD4 + T cells after coculture with each monocyte subset from one patient and one control donor. The proportion of Th1, Th2, Th17, and Treg cells was calculated after coculture of CD4 + T cells with each monocyte. The percentage increases in T-cell subsets in cocultures of monocytes and T cells compared with CD4 + T cells cultured alone were compared between 7 healthy individuals and 10 patients with SLE. Data were expressed as mean +- SD and analyzed by non-parametric paired t test and Mann-Whitney U test. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01; NS, no significance.
