NF-κB-Inducing Kinase Increases Renal Tubule Epithelial Inflammation Associated with Diabetes

Figure 5

TRAF3 silencing increases proinflammatory proteins: TRAF3 was knocked down using specific siRNA in HK-2 cells, and cytokines (IL-8 and MCP-1) and retinoid x receptor alpha (RXRA) were measured by RT-PCR in a single experiment performed in triplicate (error bars represent SD of intra-assay variability).
