Figure Lengend Snippet: Cav2 knockdown promoted M2 polarization and attenuated macrophage apoptosis by regulating Hippo signaling pathway in vitro. ( A ) Immunofluorescence analysis assessed the nuclear expression and localization of Nucleus YAP and Nucleus TAZ. ( B ) Western blotting analysis the expression of Nucleus YAP, Nucleus TAZ, Lats1, Mst1, Sav1, Cytoplasm p-YAP, Cytoplasm p-TAZ, Bak, Bax, Caspase-3, Bcl-2, iNOS, CD86, CD80, CD206, Arg1 and CD163 proteins in MHS cells, Histone H3 and GAPDH serves as an internal control of nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins ( N = 3 per group). ( B , C ) The expression of M1 and M2 polarization related phenotype in MHS cells, detected by flow cytometry. ( D , E , F , G ) The mRNA expression of Bak, Bax, Caspase-3 and Bcl-2. ( H , I , J , K ) The mRNA expression of iNOS, CD86, CD206 and Arg1. ( L , M , N ) The mRNA expression of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in MHS cells, detected by RT-qPCR. Data were expressed as mean ± SD, * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 vs. Control group. # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01, ### P < 0.001 vs. LPS group. $ P < 0.05 vs. LPS + LV-si-Cav2 group. Ɛ P < 0.05, ƐƐ P < 0.01 vs. LPS + LV-OE-Cav2 group
Article Snippet: The mouse alveolar macrophage cell line (MHS), acquired from American Type Culture Collection, was cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (Sigma,USA) supplementedwith 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China) under an atmosphere with 5% CO 2 at 37°C.
