The mRNA levels of cytokines in DCs. The BMDCs were cultured with cytokines and then treated with 100 nM FICZ for 12 h, followed by stimulation with LPS for another 24 h. The mRNA levels of related cytokines were measured using RT-qPCR. GAPDH gene was used as internal control. Data were expressed as Mean ± SD of three independent experiments. The results are shown as follows: A IL-1β; B IL-12; C IL-23; D IL-22; E TGF-β; F IL-10. Data were collected from three independent experiments. ^**P < 0.01, ^***P < 0.001 versus the DMSO group. ns, not significant
