Fig. 5: T cells inhibit differentiation of RAW 264.7 macrophages ex vivo.

a Study design. T cells obtained from CD, HIO, and NO were cocultured with RAW264.7 macrophages for 9 days. b TRAP staining. c Total RNA was extracted from the RAW264.7 macrophages, and the relative expression of Rankl, Opg, Rankl/Opg and Trap was determined. d–e Assessment of cytokines of IL-10 and TGF-β levels in cell supernatants. n = 3 per group. Data are presented as means ± SEM. Two-way ANOVA was used to analyze the significance of differences. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
