Popis: Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate alterations of T helper 17 (Th17), regulatory T (Treg) cells and relative cytokines after treating with prednisone‐contained serum. Lymphocytes were isolated from female rats' spleens. Methods The splenic lymphocytes were divided into four groups: which were treated with normal rats' serum (control); prednisone‐containing rats' serum (PDN); normal rats' serum and cytokines (CTK); cytokines and prednisone‐containing rats' serum (PDN + CTK). The mRNA expression level of RORC, Foxp3 and interleukin‐17 (IL‐17) was examined by reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction. The quantities of Th17 and Treg cells were tested by flow cytometry, and the concentrations of IL‐17 and IL‐10 were detected by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay. Results Higher mRNA expression level of Foxp3, percentages of Treg/CD4+, and concentrations of IL‐10, lower mRNA expressions of RORC and IL‐17, concentrations of IL‐17 and percentages of Th17/CD4+ in PDN group were detected, compared with control group (all p
