IL-21 Modulates Release of Proinflammatory Cytokines in LPS-Stimulated Macrophages through Distinct Signaling Pathways

Figure 8

Effects of IL-21 on LPS-induced STAT3 signal pathway in mouse peritoneal macrophages. Macrophages ( ) were incubated with IL-21 (100 ng/mL) in the presence or absence of LPS (100 ng/mL) for 5 min, 20 min, and 60 min. Cytosolic proteins from macrophages were analyzed by Western blot with specific antibodies. Detection of Actin was estimated as protein-loading control for each lane. Values are presented as mean ± SD of three independent experiments. compared with the LPS group.
