Upregulated TSG-6 Expression in ADSCs Inhibits the BV2 Microglia-Mediated Inflammatory Response

Figure 7

TNFα-treated ADSCs inhibit LPS-induced inflammatory responses of BV2 microglia through the secretion of TSG-6. Results are representative of three independent experiments using three different cell cultures. The protein levels of IL1β, IL6, iNOS, and TNFa were detected. There are four treatment groups in total, group 1 (BV2 microglia), group 2 (BV2 microglia+LPS), group 3 (BV2 microglia+LPS+TSG-6-siRNA ADSCs), and group 4 (BV2 microglia+LPS+control-siRNA ADSCs). Comparison with group 1 (BV2 microglia), P<0.05, P<0.01, and P<0.001; with group 2 (BV2 microglia+LPS), #P<0.05, ##P<0.01, and ###P<0.001; with group 3 (BV2 microglia+LPS+TSG-6-siRNA ADSCs), ∘P<0.05 and group 4 (BV2 microglia+LPS+control-siRNA ADSCs).
