From: DAD3 targets ACE2 to inhibit the MAPK and NF-κB signalling pathways and protect against LPS-induced inflammation in bovine mammary epithelial cells

Figure 5

Effects of ACE2 silencing and DAD3 treatments on the transcriptional levels of pro-inflammatory factors. A–D BMEC were treated with either control siRNA (scrambled) or ACE2-siRNA for 24 h, followed by treatment with 0.5 μg/mL LPS for 24 h. After washing with PBS, cells were treated with 20 μg/mL DA or 20 μg/mL DAD3 for 24 h. Relative mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory factors were determined by RT-qPCR. A Relative IL-1β mRNA levels. B Relative IL-6 mRNA levels. C Relative IL-8 mRNA levels. D Relative TNF-α mRNA levels. All data were represented as the mean ± SEM (n = 3). ns, represents no significant difference (p > 0.05); * represents p < 0.05; ** represents p < 0.01; and *** represents p < 0.001.
