Article Title: Anti-inflammatory role of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound in inhibiting lipopolysaccharide-induced M1 polarization of RAW264.7 cells via Wnt2b/AXIN/β-catenin
doi: 10.7717/peerj.18448
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) The expression of IL2, IL4, IL6, IL10, TNFα, IFNγ, and IL17A were detected by flow cytometry. (B) The expression of IL6 and TNFα was increased by the downregulation of Wnt2b during LIPUS and LPS treatment. RAW+Wnt2bsiNC indicates RAW264.7 cells transfected with negative control of Wnt2b siRNA, used as control. RAW+LPS+Wnt2bsiNC indicates RAW264.7 cells transfected with negative control of Wnt2b siRNA and treated with 100 ng/mL LPS to induce macrophage-like M1 polarization. RAW+LPS+LIPUS+Wnt2bsiNC indicates RAW264.7 cells transfected with negative control of Wnt2b siRNA and treated with 100 ng/mL LPS and low-intensity pulsed ultrasound. RAW+LPS+LIPUS+Wnt2bsi1/2/3 indicates RAW264.7 cells transfected with Wnt2b siRNA and treated with 100 ng/mL LPS and low-intensity pulsed ultrasound. * P < 0.05, **** P < 0.0001.
