Article Title: NF-kappaB activation in human dental pulp stem cells by TNF and LPS.

doi: 10.1177/154405910508401105

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 1. TNF or LPS activates IKK. (A) DPSCs were treated with TNF (10 ng/mL) and P. gingivalis LPS (1 g/mL) for the indicated times. Fifty-g aliquots of protein extracts were probed with polyclonal antibodies against IB (1:1000) or monoclonal antibodies against phospho-specific antibodies (1:1000). For loading control, the blots were stripped and re-examined with monoclonal antibodies against - tubulin (1:15, 000). (B) E. coli LPS activates IKK. DPSCs were treated with E. coli LPS (200 ng/mL) or TNF for the indicated time points. Western blot analysis was performed as described in (A).

Article Snippet: For the super-shift assay to confirm NF- B-binding specificity, we added 1 L of rabbit polyclonal antibodies against p65 subunit (Rockland) of NF- B to nuclear extracts for 15 min prior to the addition of poly(dI-dC)poly(dI-dC) and a 32P-labeled oligonucleotide probe, and then separated them on 5% polyacrylamide gels (Wang et al., 1999a,b).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 2. TNF or LPS induces the nuclear translocation of NF-B. (A) DPSCs were treated with TNF (10 ng/mL) for the indicated time. Five- g aliquots of nuclear proteins were incubated with 32P-labeled NF-B oligonucleotide probes. For the supershift assay, nuclear proteins were pre-incubated with polyclonal antibodies against p65 for 10 min and then probed with32P-labeled NF-B oligonucleotide probes. (B) DPSCs were treated with P. gingivalis LPS (1 g/mL) for the indicated times. EMSA was performed as described in (A).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3. LPS induces IL-8 expression in DPSCs. (A) DPSCs were treated with TNF or P. gingivalis LPS for the indicated times. Fifty-g aliquots of protein extracts were probed with polyclonal antibodies against phospho-specific p65. For loading control, the membrane was stripped and re-probed with polyclonal antibodies against p65. (B) DPSCs were treated with TNF for the indicated times. Ten-g aliquots of total RNAs were hybridized with 32P-labeled IL-8 cDNA probes. For loading control, the blot was stripped and re-probed with 32P-labeled glyceraldehyde-3- phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) cDNA probes. (C) DPSCs were treated with P. gingivalis LPS for the indicated times. Northern blot analysis was performed as described in (B). (D) DPSCs were treated with TNF for the indicated times. Total RNAs were probed with 32P-labeled IL- 6 cDNA probes. (E) DPSCs were treated with E. coli LPS for the indicated times. Total RNAs were probed with 32P-labeded IL-6 cDNA probes.
