LPS induces MARCKS expression through the TLR4 dependent pathway. (A, B) WT IMMs and ΔTLR4 IMMs were treated with LPS for 6 h or left unstimulated (indicated as “unstim” in this and subsequent panels). TNF and MARCKS mRNA levels were measured using real-time PCR. Each experiment was performed in triplicate. Data are representative of two independent experiments (3 biological replicates per condition per experiment; 24 samples total) and shown as mean ± SEM: ***p < 0.005, ****p < 0.0001 (one-way ANOVA). (C) ΔTLR4 IMMs were treated with LPS for the indicated times. MARCKS protein expression was detected by western blot and beta-actin was used as a loading control. The full-length blot image is included in the Supplementary Information file, Supplementary Fig. 3. (D) Densitometric analysis of western blot results. MARCKS was normalized to beta-actin. Data are representative of 2 independent experiments, shown as mean ± SEM.
