Advanced Glycated apoA-IV Loses Its Ability to Prevent the LPS-Induced Reduction in Cholesterol Efflux-Related Gene Expression in Macrophages

Figure 3

Tlr4, Traf6, Myd88, Nfkb, Rela, Jak2, and Stat3 expression by macrophages treated with unmodified or AGE-apoA-IV and further stimulated with LPS. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were overloaded with acetylated LDL (50 μg/mL) and incubated with unmodified or AGE-apoA-IV. After washing, macrophages were stimulated for 24 h with 1 μg/mL of LPS (). Gene expression was determined by RT-qPCR as described in Material and Methods section. Data are representative of 3 independent experiments (, ).
