Figure Lengend Snippet: The roles of METTL3 and NMDAR2B in the anti-inflammatory effects of magnetic stimulation in vitro . (A) Effects of inhibition and overexpression of METTL3 on the protein bands of METTL3, NMDAR2B, and YTHDF1. (B–D) Western blot analyses of METTL3, YTHDF1, and NMDAR2B protein expression. (E) Effects of inhibition and overexpression of NMDAR2B on the protein bands of METTL3, NMDAR2B, and YTHDF1 (F–H) Western blot analyses of METTL3, YTHDF1, and NMDAR2B protein expression. (I–R) ELISA was used to detect the methylation modification level of m6A, NLRP3, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-10. The number of samples in each group was 3. The results was analyzed with one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-hoc test, *p < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 and ****P < 0.0001.
