Investigation of PPARβ/δ within Human Dental Pulp Cells: A Preliminary In Vitro Study

Figure 1

Human dental pulp cells express PPARβ/δ: (a) PPARβ/δ mRNA was ubiquitously expressed in all five hDPC cultures; (b) representative immunofluorescence labeling of hDPCs stained with anti-PPARβ/δ antibody (red) and nucleus (blue/DAPI). Merged images demonstrated that PPARβ/δ was widely immunolocalized in the nuclei. NC: negative control, without primary anti-PPARβ/δ antibody. (c) Treatment with 2 μg/mL LPS increased PPARβ/δ mRNA level ( vs. control by Mann-Whitney test; ). .
