Suppression of lncRNA MALAT1 Reduces LPS- or IL-17A-Induced Inflammatory Response in Human Middle Ear Epithelial Cells via the NF-κB Signaling Pathway

Figure 4

Role of MALAT1 in proinflammatory cytokine production and MUC protein levels. (a–f) The effect of MALAT1 on concentrations of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-β, and IL-6) was evaluated by ELISA assay in HMEECs under LPS or IL-17A treatment. (g, h) The effect of MALAT1 on protein levels of MUC5AC and MUC8 was measured by western blot in HMEECs under LPS or IL-17A treatment. , .
