Correlation between PGCCs count and cytokines production in CTH cultures. Pearson’s correlation between PGCCs count and cytokine production was conducted in CTH cultures. A statistically significant negative correlation was detected between IL-10 expression and PGCCs count in CTH-BL culture. Moreover, a significant strong positive correlation was observed between PGCCs count and TGF-β or all cytokines production in CTH-DB cultures. The X-axis represents cytokine concentration (pg/ml), and the Y-axis represents PGCCs count. All cytokines: TGF-β, IL-6, IL10, IL-1β, Pro-inflammatory cytokines: IL-1β and IL-6. (r) stands for correlation coefficient and (*) shows significant p-value ≤ 0.05
