Control: MRL/lpr mice treated with PBS; Control shRNA: MRL/lpr mice treated with LV-Control shRNA; TWEAK-shRNA: MRL/lpr mice treated with LV-TWEAK-shRNA; MRL/MPJ: MRL/MPJ mice as normal control. Data are mean ± standard deviation. versus MRL/MPJ at the same time point, versus control MRL/lpr mice at the same time point, and versus control MRL/lpr mice at 13 weeks of age. |
