Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 2. SEPT7 mRNA expression analysis using qPCR (A) and SEPT7 (B, C), SEPT2 (B, D), SEPT6 (B, D), SEPT9 (B, D), SEPT11 (B, D) protein expression using western blot in BEAS-2B after 72 h transfection of 5 nM control siRNA (siCTL, white circles) or SEPT7 siRNA (blue circles) (n=4, *p<0.05, Mann–Whitney test). (E) Amount of intracellular P. aeruginosa (Pa) (CFU/mL) in BEAS-2B cells transfected for 72 h with 5 nM of siCTL or SEPT7 siRNA and then infected for 30 min (orange circles, n=6), 1 h (purple circles, n=5) and 3 h (red circles, n=10) with Pa (MOI=5) [(*p<0.05, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Bonferroni correction)]. (F) IL-6 production by BEAS-2B cells transfected for 72 h with 5 nM of siCTL or SEPT7 siRNA in the non-infected (-, white circles) condition and after 3 h of Pa (red cir cles) infection (MOI=5) [(n= 9; *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ****p<0.0001 analysis of variance (ANOVA), Bonferroni correction)].
