Inhibition of Age-Related Cytokines Production by ATGL: A Mechanism Linked to the Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Resveratrol

Figure 3

RSV does not revert inflammatory markers upregulation in ATGL lacking cells. (a) Differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes (8-days-old) were transfected with siRNA against ATGL [ATGL ] or with a scramble siRNA (Scr) and treated with 100 μM RSV for 24 h. RT-qPCR analysis of relative ATGL, PPARα, TNFα, and IL-6 mRNA levels. Values are given as means ± S.D. versus Scr cells; versus RSV untreated cells. (b) Western blotting analysis of IκB and phosphoactive form of NFκB (pNFκB) in total protein extracts of adipocytes. β-Actin was used as loading control. Immunoblots are representative of at least 3 independent experiments.
