doi: 10.3390/ijms25179144
Figure Lengend Snippet: RABV inducing the activation of the Myd88 pathway through TLR7. ( A ) The expression levels of TLR7, MyD88, IRAK4 and TRAF6 assessed via Western blotting. ( B ) BV-2 cells pre-treated for 2 h with the inhibitor (HY-124603) and agonist (HY-117602) of TLR7 before stimulation with CVS-11 for 6 h. TRL7, Myd88, IRAK4 and TRAF6 were analyzed via Western blotting. ( C ) Quantitative assessment of the relative expression levels of TLR7, Myd88, IRAK4 and TRAF6, normalized against β-actin. ( D ) Quantitative assessment of the relative expression levels of TLR7, Myd88, IRAK4 and TRAF6 following normalization against β-actin, in response to treatment with TLR7 inhibitors (HY-124603) and agonists (HY-117602). ( E ) The expression levels of viral P gene mRNA, quantified using qRT-PCR following treatment with the TLR7 inhibitor (HY-124603) and agonist (HY-117602). ( F ) BV-2 cells pre-treated for 2 h with the TLR7 inhibitor (HY-124603) and for 30 min with the Myd88 inhibitor (HY-50937). The supernatants were collected, and the concentration of CCL2 was quantified at 24 h. ( G ) The expression of CXCL10 was measured at 24 h. ( H ) The expression of IL-6 was measured at 24 h. Statistical evaluations were conducted utilizing ANOVA (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01).
Article Snippet: The TLR7 inhibitor (HY-124603, MCE, Princeton, NJ, USA), agonist (HY-117602, MCE, USA) and Myd88 inhibitor (HY-50937) were purchased from Med-Chem-Express.
