Inhibition of GPR91 Reduces Inflammatory Mediators Involved in Active Labor in Myometrium

Figure 3

Effect of GPR91 siRNA knockdown on proinflammatory chemokines. Human primary myometrial cells were transfected with 50 nM siCONT or 50 nM siGPR91 and then treated with 1 ng/ml IL1B or 10 ng/ml TNF ( patients). (a, c, e, and g) CXCL8 and CCL2 mRNA expression was analysed by RT-qPCR. (b, d, f, and h) The concentration of CXCL8 and CCL2 in the incubation medium was assayed by ELISA. For all data, the fold change was calculated relative to siCONT+IL1B- or siCONT+TNF-transfected cells. Individual data points represent 6 independent experiments, and the horizontal line represents the of each group. , repeated measures one-way ANOVA.
