IL-1ra attenuates the P. gingivalis-LPS-activated TLR4-mediated NF-κB pathway in rGMSCs. RT-PCR and western blot analysis were performed. (a) mRNA expressions of TLR4 and IκBα were analyzed by RT-PCR at 1, 7, and 14 days. (b) Protein expressions of phosphorylated IκBα, IκBα, NF-κB phosphorylated p65, and NF-κB p65 after 1-hour induction in different groups (G1: GMSCs; G2: GMSCs+LPS; G3: GMSCs+LPS+10 ng/mL IL-1ra; G4: GMSCs+LPS+100 ng/mL IL-1ra; and G5: GMSCs+LPS+1 μg/mL IL-1ra). (c) The ratio of p-IκBα/IκBα and NF-κB p-p65/p65 in different groups. , , and vs. GMSCs; #, ##, and ### vs. GMSCs+LPS.
