Figure Lengend Snippet: Validation of microarray data. ( A ) Cellular localization of p65 determined by immunofluorescence. ( B ) Semiquantitative analysis of immunofluorescence intensity of p65 in nucleus. ( C ) Expression of the lncRNA LOC541472 in SFMSCs 2 h after stimulation with 10 ng/mL IL‐1β. ( D ) The efficiency of LOC541472 knockdown using Smart Silencer was confirmed by RT‐qPCR. IL‐6 gene expression was determined by RT‐qPCR ( E ), and IL-6 protein levels were determined by CBA assays ( F ). ( G ) Cellular localization and expression of IL6 and LOC541472 , as demonstrated by RNAscope assays. ( H ) Western blotting of IL6, phosphor-p65, p65, and β-actin. ( I ) Quantification of the blots shown in ( H ). ( J ) Gene expression of the lncRNA RP3-467K16.4 after stimulation with 10 ng/mL IL‐1β for 2 h. ( K ) The efficiency of RP3-467K16.4 knockdown using Smart Silencer was confirmed by RT‐qPCR. SFMSCs were transfected with Smart Silencer targeting RP3-467K16.4 for 48 h and then incubated with 10 ng/mL IL‐1β for 2 h, and expression of the IL8 gene was measured by RT‐qPCR ( L ), and IL8 protein levels were determined by CBA assays ( M ). ( N ) Western blotting of IKKβ, IKKα, phosphor-p65, p65, and β-actin. ( O ) Quantification of the blots shown in ( M ). NC negative control, SiL Smart Silencer targeting LOC541472 , SiR Smart Silencer targeting RP3-467K16.4 , pP65 phospho p65. * P < 0.05 vs. negative control or control group. # P < 0.05 vs. NC + IL‐1β group. N = 3. Scale bars = 100 μm.
