sNASP Mutation Aggravates to the TLR4-Mediated Inflammation in SLE by TAK1 Pathway

Figure 3

sNASP mutation downregulates the protein of TRAF6 expression. The expression of TRAF6 was measured by western blot in peritoneal macrophages and compared among B6.lpr, B6.∆sNASP.lpr, B6.WT, and B6.∆sNASP mice, and mouse β-actin was used as control. Following 0/0.5/1/2 hr stimulation with ((a) and (d)) LPS (1 ng/ml), ((b) and (e)) LPS (10 ng/ml), ((c) and (f)) LPS (100 ng/ml). Data were shown as means ± SEM. , ; independent sample t-test. Results shown are representative of 2–3 independent experiments.
