Attenuated lncRNA NKILA Enhances the Secretory Function of Airway Epithelial Cells Stimulated by Mycoplasma pneumoniae via NF-κB

Figure 2

The secretion function was enhanced after knockdown of NKILA in MP-treated airway epithelial cells. (a) NKILA was significantly downregulated by the three siRNAs. (b, c) The expression of NKILA was downregulated in MP-treated A549 and BEAS-2B cells, especially in the NKILA knockdown group. (d–f) The levels of IL-8 and TNF-α in the supernatant of A549 and BEAS-2B cells were elevated after MP infection, while knocking down NKILA enhanced this effect. Data are shown as the from three experiments (, , and ).
