Figure Lengend Snippet: A THP-1 Mϕ were stimulated with 20 μg/mL poly IC or 1 μg/mL LPS for 8 h or 4 h, respectively, with or without tryptanthrin. The cells were fixed, and then immunostained with anti-STAT1 antibody (red). Cell nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Yellow arrowhead indicates the nuclear translocation of STAT1. Representative images of three independent experiments. B THP-1 Mϕ were stimulated with 20 μg/mL poly IC or vehicle (control), and 1 μM tryptanthrin or DMSO for 8 h. Thereafter, the total RNA was extracted from the cells and expression of IFIT1 , IFIT2 , IFITM1 , ISG15 , and Mx1 mRNA was analyzed using qRT-PCR. C Similarly, after stimulating the cells with 1 μg/mL LPS or vehicle, and 1 μM tryptanthrin or DMSO for 4 h, total RNA was extracted and the mRNA expression was examined ( n = 3, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001; n.s., not significant)
Article Snippet: Rabbit monoclonal anti-phosphorylated IRF3 (p-IRF3) antibody (#4947) and rabbit polyclonal anti-phosphorylated STAT1 (Ser727) (p-STAT1-Ser) antibody (#9177) were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA, USA).
