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.
