Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 6. Effect of HC and LPS on IL-1 ligand and receptor expres- sion in BMG. (A) Determination of Il1r1 (upper left), Il1r2 (upper middle), icIlrn1 (upper right), Il1a (lower left), Il1b (lower middle), and sIl1rn (lower right) mRNA levels in BMGs, which were left un- treated, treated for 1 h with LPS, for 20 h with HC, or for 20 h with HC and subsequently for 1 h with LPS. Total mRNA was isolated from not stimulated, LPS- or HC-treated, or HC- and LPS-treated BMN sam- ples for analyses by qRT-PCR. Results represent Il1r1, Il1r2, icIl1rn1, Il1a, Il1b, and sIl1rn mRNA expression levels relative to Gapdh mRNA levels. Data are shown as the mean sem of values obtained from five independent cultures. *P 0.05; **P 0.01; ***P 0.001, as ana- lyzed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-test for pairwise compari- son when the ANOVA was statistically significant. (B) Determination of IL-1, IL-1, and IL-1Ra cytokine levels in lysates of BMG. BMG were left untreated, treated for 6 h with LPS, for 20 h with HC, or for 20 h with HC and subsequently for 6 h with LPS. Not stimulated, LPS- or HC-treated, or HC- and LPS-treated BMG samples were lysed, and cytokine levels were measured by ELISA. Data are shown as the mean sem of values obtained from three independent cultures. **P 0.01; ***P 0.001, as analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-test for pairwise comparison when the ANOVA was statistically significant.
Article Snippet: The membrane was blocked in TBS/0.05% Triton X-100, 5% horse serum, and probed with a goat anti-mouse IL-1 polyclonal antibody (detection antibody of IL-1 ELISA; R&D Systems) or a goat anti-mouse IL-1Ra polyclonal antibody (R&D Systems), followed by a HRP-conjugated donkey anti-goat IgG.
