Article Title: Interferon‐stimulated gene 56 positively regulates Toll‐like receptor 3‐mediated CXCL 10 expression in human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells

Figure Lengend Snippet: STAT1 was scarcely involved in ISG56 and CXCL10 induced by poly IC in hRPTECs. Fludarabine, an inhibitor of STAT1 activation, was added to cultured cells at a concentration of 10 μ m , and the cells were incubated for 1 h. Poly IC (10 μg·mL −1 ) was used to stimulate the cells. (A) After 2 h (for phosphorylated STAT1 and STAT1 analysis) and 24 h (for ISG56 and actin analysis), the cells were lysed and the lysate was used for western blotting ( n = 1). (B) After 16 h of incubation, RNA extraction from the cells was performed, and ISG56, CXCL10 and GAPDH mRNA expression was evaluated by RT‐qPCR. The results are shown as the mean ± SD ( n = 3). * P < 0.05 relative to cells transfected with control siRNA by a Mann–Whitney U ‐test. (C) After 24 h of incubation, the cell culture medium was collected, and an ELISA kit was used to measure the concentration of CXCL10. The results are shown as the mean ± SD ( n = 3). * P < 0.05 relative to cells transfected with control siRNA by a Mann–Whitney U ‐test. n.s., not significant.
Article Snippet: ELISA kits for detecting CXCL10 and IFN‐β were obtained from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN, USA) and PBL Assay Science (Piscataway, NJ, USA), respectively, and the manufacturers' recommended protocols were followed.
