Figure Lengend Snippet: RAW 264.7 cells were treated with LPS (1 µg/ml) for different time points as indicated. A After LPS treatment, GOLPH3 expression was examined by western blot analysis ( n = 3). B The cells were transfected with Con siRNA or GOLPH3 siRNA for 24 h and the knockdown efficiency was determined by western blot analysis. C , D The cells were transfected with Con siRNA or GOLPH3 siRNA for 24 h, and subsequently treated with LPS for 8 h. The relative mRNA levels of Golph3 and pro-inflammatory mediators ( Tnfα, IL-6, Mcp1 , and Nos2 ) were determined using real-time PCR analysis. Relative mRNA expression was normalized to that of GAPDH ( n = 3). E After transfection, the cells were treated with LPS for 1 h, and determined the protein expression levels of GOLPH3, p-NF-κB p65, p-IκBα, p-AKT, and β-actin (as a loading control) using western blot analysis ( n = 3). F Cells were transfected with Con siRNA or GOLPH3 siRNA for 24 h and treated with LPS for 8 h, and cell lysates were analyzed by western blotting to measure GOLPH3, iNOS, and COX2 expression. The data are presented as mean ± SEM. One-way ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni’s multiple comparisons (in A , C , D , E , F ) and two-tailed Student’s t -test (in B ) were used, * p < 0.05 versus Con siRNA alone, and # p < 0.05 vs LPS with Con siRNA.
Article Snippet: Statistical significance was determined using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Bonferroni’s multiple comparisons for multiple groups or unpaired two-tailed Student’s t -test to compare two groups (GraphPad Prism 7 Software, v.7.00, La Jolla, CA, USA).
