Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 6. Validation of the function in mouse mesangial cells using serum from MRL/lpr mice, RIPK1 inhibitor ZJU37, PI3K inhib itor LY294002, and anti-mouse IL17A. Mouse mesangial cell line was stimulated with DMSO, serum from 18-week-old MRL/lpr mice (serum group), serum + ZJU37, serum + LY294002, serum + LY294002 + ZJU37, serum + anti-mouse IL17A as well as serum + anti-mouse IL17A + ZJU37 for 24 hours. (A) Representative images of wound healing in 0h, 12h, and 24h in DMSO, serum, and serum + ZJU37 group. (B) The migration rate of mouse mesangial cells in 12h and 24h in DMSO, serum, and serum + ZJU37 group. 6 would areas were counted at random and we plot the mean of the collected data. N = 6. (C, D) Representative immunoflu orescent images and the proportion of positive EdU nucleus in the DMSO, serum, and serum + ZJU37 group. 6 visual fields were counted at random and we plot the mean of the collected data. N = 6. (E, F) Western blotting images and statistical figures of PI3K, p-AKT, and AKT in the DMSO, serum, serum + ZJU37, serum + LY294002, and serum + LY294002 + ZJU37 group. N = 3. (G, H) Western blotting images and statistical figures of p-NFκB, NFκB, p-ERK, and ERK in the DMSO, serum, serum + ZJU37, serum + anti-mouse IL17A, and serum + anti-mouse IL17A + ZJU37 group. N = 3. Experiments in Figures E and G were repeated twice. Data in Figures B, D, F, and H was calculated with ANOVA and pairwise comparison. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 com pared to the vehicle group. ns indicated no significance.
Article Snippet: Cell culture and treatment Mouse mesangial cells (ATCC: SV40 MES13) were cultured in DEME/F12 with 5% fetal bovine serum (Gibco, Cat No.: 26170035) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin at 37 °C in 5% CO2 incubator for growth.
