Validation and identification of mRNAs in stimulated BMDM. Macrophages were cultured in the presence of TcES (25 μg/mL), LPS (1 μg/mL), or both TcES+LPS for 4 (left bar) and 24 h (right bar) poststimulation. Relative levels of selected mRNA were determined by TaqMan mRNA assays after normalization with 18S RNA. The levels of mRNA are represented as fold change relative to the PBS-treated group (). Data shown are representative of two independent experiments (, 3 replicates condition). Significance was calculated using -test. , , and .
