Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Total cell population per mL of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) from the hemocytometer quantification ( B ) Macrophage population quantification from BAL image analysis (5 fields/animal) and representative images for each group including ( C ) PBS-PBS, ( D ) PBS-LPS, ( E ) PEI NT siRNA nanoparticle, ( F ) PEI CXCL-1 siRNA nanoparticle, ( G ) PEI-LPEG NT siRNA nanoparticle and ( H ) PEI-LPEG CXCL-1 siRNA nanoparticle-treated rats 24 h post-transfection. Images taken at 100× magnification (Kruskal–Wallis test and Dunn’s post-hoc test, * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001, min of n = 3 ± SD).
Article Snippet: The siRNA sequences for rat CXCL-1 (5′ UAACGAGAUAUUUAACGCCCCC 3′) were obtained from (Riboxx GmbH, Radebeul, Germany), and the siGENOME non-targeting siRNA #2 (5′ UAAGGCUAUGAAGAGAUAC 3′) scrambled sequence controls were obtained from Dharmacon (now Horizon Discovery, Cambridge, UK).
Techniques: Transfection
