TRIP interacted with TAK1 and promoted TAK1 degradation in RA-FLS. (a) Extracts of RA-FLS stimulated with TNFα (100 ng/mL) for various times were subjected to immunoprecipitation with anti-TRIP or control anti-IgG and immunoblot analysis with individual antibodies. Mg132, proteasome inhibitor. WCL, whole cell lysates (b) Western blot analysis of the expression of TAK1 in RA-FLS cells stably expressed control or TRIP (wild type) or TRIPCA (E3 ligase activity mutation) plasmid stimulated with TNFα (100 ng/mL) for 120 min.
