Article Title: Baicalin Alleviates ADAM17/EGFR Axis-Induced Peritonitis in Weaned Piglets Infected by Glaesserella parasuis
doi: 10.3390/ani15162457
Figure Lengend Snippet: ADAM17 small interfering RNA (siRNA) inhibited the expression of ADAM17/EGFR axis-related proteins and inflammatory proteins in porcine peritoneal mesothelial cells infected by Glaesserella parasuis . ( A ) ADAM17 siRNA reduced the upregulation of ADAM17, p-EGFR/EGFR, and p-ERK/ERK. ( B ) ADAM17 siRNA reduced the upregulation of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. NC stands for negative control siRNA; siRNA stands for ADAM17 siRNA; GPS stands for Glaesserella parasuis ; ADAM17 stands for disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17; EGFR stands for epidermal growth factor receptor; p-EGFR stands for phosphorylated EGFR; ERK stands for extracellular signal-regulated kinase; p-ERK stands for phosphorylated ERK; TNF-α stands for tumor necrosis factor alpha; IL-1β stands for interleukin-1 beta; IL-6 stands for interleukin-6; GAPDH stands for glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Significant differences are denoted as follows: # and ## represent p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively, for the comparisons between the negative control siRNA group and the negative control siRNA plus GPS group; * and ** represent p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively, for the comparisons between the corresponding negative control siRNA and ADAM17 siRNA groups, both in the presence and absence of GPS infection.
Article Snippet: The membranes were blocked with 5% nonfat milk or 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) in Tris-buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween-20 (TBST), followed by incubation with the following specific primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight: ADAM17 antibody (Bioss, Beijing, China; 1:1000); epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody (PTM BIO, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China; 1:1000); extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) antibody, phosphorylated ERK (p-ERK) antibody, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) antibody (Proteintech, Wuhan, Hubei, China; 1:1000); phosphorylated EGFR (p-EGFR) antibody, interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) antibody, and interleukin 6 (IL-6) antibody (Abclonal, Wuhan, Hubei, China; 1:1000); glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) antibody (Servicebio, Wuhan, Hubei, China; 1:5000).
