Effects of QCHS on the expression of Treg- and Th17-associated transcription factors and cytokines in colonic tissues from the TNBS-induced experimental colitis mice. a and b The mRNA and protein levels of Foxp3 were analyzed by qRT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. c and d The concentrations of IL-17 and IL-10 were measured by qRT-PCR and ELISA. Both QCHS and QCHS-treated DCs facilitated the production of Foxp3 and IL-10 and restrained the production of IL-17. All values are mean ± SD, n = 6 per group. *P < 0.05 indicates a significant difference vs the control group. #P < 0.05 indicates a significant difference vs the TNBS group
