Jieduquyuziyin Prescription-Treated Rat Serum Suppresses Activation of Peritoneal Macrophages in MRL/Lpr Lupus Mice by Inhibiting IRAK1 Signaling Pathway

Figure 4

JP inhibits the secretion of inflammatory cytokines in peritoneal macrophages of MRL/lpr lupus mice. (a) The expression alterations in TNF-α and IL-6 mRNA. (b) Concentrations of TNF-α and IL-6 in the supernatant of peritoneal macrophages of MRL/lpr mice. (c) Transfection protein bands and transfection efficiency of IRAK1 shRNA in peritoneal macrophages of MRL/lpr mice. (d) After transfection and JP treatment, the alterations of inflammatory cytokine production and TNF-α and IL-6 mRNA in cells. Values are expressed as mean ± SD of three independent experiments. and versus vehicle control cells; and versus LPS or shRNA-treated cells.
