Figure Lengend Snippet: FGF20 inhibits M1-like macrophage polarization in NF-κB-dependent manner in vitro. Primary peritoneal macrophages were isolated from WT mice and FGF20 KO mice and used for subsequent in vitro experiments. ( A ) Immunoblot analysis of expression of iNOS, TNF-α, IL6, S100A9, p-P65, P65, p-IκBα, and IκBα in LPS-stimulated primary peritoneal macrophages, treated with or without BAY11-7082 (n = 3). ( B ) Representative immunofluorescence images and its fluorescence densities of LPS-stimulated primary peritoneal macrophages, treated with or without BAY11-7082 (n = 6). Data are represented as mean ± SEM; ∗∗ P < .01, ∗∗∗ P < .001.
