Figure Lengend Snippet: The lentiviral vectors containing DOK-1 specific ShRNA (DOK_ShRNA) or DOK-1 cDNA (DOK) were administrated together with controls (empty vector or vector containing non-specific scrambled ShRNA) before OVA challenge. (A) Representative western blotting demonstrating DOK-1 protein expression in the lungs of the mice. Con, non OVA challenged; OVA, OVA-challenged with empty lentiviral vector; DOK_ShRNA, OVA-challenged with DOK_ShRNA knockdown; DOK, OVA-challenged with DOK-1 overexpression (B) Immunofluorescent staining on the tissue sections from the lungs using Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated DOK-1 antibody and DAPI stains.

Article Snippet: DOK-1 cDNA was cloned by PCR amplification using the following primers : 5′-CTACCTGAGCTACCAGTCCGC-3′ (Sense) and 5′-CGTGAAGAATGTGCGAGAC-3′ (antisense) (Genecopoeia, Germantown, MD).

Techniques: shRNA, Plasmid Preparation, Western Blot, Expressing, Over Expression, Staining

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Lung sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, D-PAS, alcian blue for the evaluation of inflammatory cells and airway mucus responses. ×40 of original magnification. Con, non OVA challenged; OVA, OVA-challenged with empty lentiviral vector; DOK_ShRNA, OVA-challenged with DOK_ShRNA knockdown; DOK, OVA-challenged with DOK-1 overexpression. At least 4 mice were included in each group. (B) Inflammatory index that scored parenchymal inflammation. At least 4 mice were included in each group. *P<0.05 (C) Mucus index evaluated by morphometric analysis representing alcian blue stained mucus cells (percentage of positive cells) in airway epithelial cells. At least 4 mice were included in each group. *P<0.05.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) FACS Histogram analysis on BAL cells from the mice after OVA sensitization and challenge. Con, non OVA challenged; OVA, OVA-challenged with empty lentiviral vector; DOK_ShRNA, OVA-challenged with DOK_ShRNA knockdown; DOK, OVA-challenged with DOK-1 overexpression. Each lane indicates CD4 + T cell population stained with Cy5-anti-CD4 antibody. (B) BAL CD4(+)T cells gated with PE-conjugated CD4 were further evaluated by intracellular staining against Cy5-conjugated-IL-4 and FITC-conjugated-IFN-γ. (C) The levels of inflammatory Th1 and Th2 cytokines and a chemokine in BAL fluid were measured by ELISA at 24 hrs after the last OVA challenge. Data represent means ± S.E.M. Each group contains at least 7 mice. *P<0.05, ***P<0.001 vs. OVA-challenged mice.
