Figure 1From: Participation of MCP-induced protein 1 in lipopolysaccharide preconditioning-induced ischemic stroke tolerance by regulating the expression of proinflammatory cytokines MCPIP1 mRNA and protein levels are elevated in mouse microglia and brain upon treatment with LPS. (A) MCPIP1 mRNA expression in mouse microglia treated with LPS (0.1 μg/ml) as measured by qRT-PCR. Values represent mean ± SD, # p < 0.01, § p < 0.001 versus PBS control. (B) MCPIP1 protein levels in mouse microglia treated with LPS (0.1 μg/ml) as measured by Western blot. Results are representative of three independent experiments. *p < 0.05 versus PBS control. (C) MCPIP1 mRNA expression in mouse brain with LPS-preconditioning (0.2 mg/kg) as measured by qRT-PCR. Values represent mean ± SD, # p < 0.01, § p < 0.001 versus saline control. (D) MCPIP1 protein levels in mouse brain with LPS-preconditioning (0.2 mg/kg) as measured by Western blot. Results are representative of three independent experiments. *p < 0.05 versus saline control.Back to article page
