Figure 5. miR-17-92 enhances T- and B-cell pathogenicity in BO. B10.BR mice were conditioned with total-body irradiation and Cytoxan (120 mg/kg) and transferred with either 1 × 107 TCD-BM from WT or miR-17-92flox/floxCD19Cre+ B6 mice, or plus 0.65 × 105 T cells from WT or miR-17-92flox/floxCD4Cre+ B6 mice. (A-C) Pulmonary resistance, elastance, and compliance are shown at 60 days after BMT (N = 5-12 mice per group). (D-E) Collagen deposition in lung was evaluated by Masson Trichrome stain (original magnification ×200) and quantified by measuring the blue area by ImageJ software. (F-I) Mean percentage of PD-1hiCXCR5+ Tfh (on gated H2Kb+ CD4+Foxp3− cells), ratio of Tfr to Tfh cells (ratio of Foxp3+ to Foxp3− cells gated on H2Kb+CD4+PD-1hiCXCR5+ cells), GC B cells (GL-7+Fas+ on gated H2Kb+B220+ cells), and plasma cells (B220lowCD138+ on gated H2Kb+cells) in recipient spleen are shown at 60 days after BMT. *P < .05; **P < .01; ***P < .001.
