CRP Stimulates GDF15 Expression in Endothelial Cells through p53
Figure 4
p53 knockdown inhibits CRP-induced GDF15 expression. HAECs were transfected with either Ctrl siRNA or p53 siRNA for 24 h and treated with or without CRP for 18 h. GDF15 mRNA levels were examined by RT-qPCR (a), and protein levels were analyzed by Western blot analysis (b). The histogram represents the mean + SEM from three independent experiments. and by Student’s -test.
