Figure Lengend Snippet: IL-36α inhibits expression of collagen and α-Sma in GMSCs. (A) List of genes associated with connective tissues (eg, collagenous and non-collagenous proteins) from the microarray data. (B) qRT-PCR of Il-6 in gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) treated with recombinant IL-36α, IL-36β, and IL-36γ for 4 days. (C) qRT-PCR of Col1a1, Col1a2, and Col3a1 in GMSCs treated with recombinant IL-36α, IL-36β, and IL-36γ for 4 days. (D) Western blotting of IL-1Rrp2 after knocking down with control siRNA (CTLsi) or IL-1Rrp2 siRNA (IL-1Rrp2si) in GMSCs. (E) qRT-PCR of Col1a1, Col1a2, and Col3a1 in GMSCs with IL-1Rrp2 knockdown and IL-36a treatment. (F) Western blotting of Col1a1 and α-Sma in GMSCs treated with IL-36α and TGF-β1 for 2 days. (G) ELISA for collagen type I from supernatants obtained from GMSCs treated with IL-36α and TGF-β1. (H) qRT-PCR of Col1a1, Col1a2, and α-Sma in GMSCs treated with recombinant IL-36α and TGF-β1 for 2 days. *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001. Results represent the means ± SD performed in triplicate.
