Figure Lengend Snippet: CTSL regulates the LPS-induced K63-linked polyUb binding of NEMO by degrading A20 (A) BMDM cells were treated with IAAP or SID26681509 for 6 h, then stimulated with LPS (100 ng/mL) for 5 min, the levels of p -IKKα/β, IκBα, p -IκBα, p65, p-p65, and ACTB were examined using Western blotting. (B) BMDM cells were treated with IAAP or SID26681509 for 6 h, then stimulated with LPS (100 ng/mL) for 5 min. BMDM was analyzed for the spatial approximation of IKKγ with K63-linked polyUb components using PLA. Red, proximity ligation-positive signals. Scale bars: 5 μm. The quantification shown on the right represents the fluorescence, n = 15. (C) BMDM cells were treated with IAAP or SID26681509 for 6 h, then stimulated with LPS (100 ng/mL) for 5 min, the levels of A20, NEMO, IKKβ, and ACTB were examined using Western blotting. (D) BMDM cells were analyzed for the spatial approximation of A20 with CTSL components using PLA. Red, proximity ligation-positive signals. Scale bars: 5 μm. Quantification shown on the right represents the fluorescence, n = 15. (E) BMDM cells were transfected with control-, A20 -siRNA for 24 h. Then cells were treated with IAAP (5 μM) or SID26681509 (5 μM) for 6 h, and then stimulated with LPS (100 ng/mL) for 5 min. Cells were then harvested for analyzing the mRNA expression of IL-6 and CXCL1 using qRT-PCR, n = 3 in each group. DMSO was used as the vehicle control. All the quantitative data are presented as mean ± SEM and differences were identified using one-way ANOVA. ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001, and ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001; ns, p > 0.05.
