Effects of lincRNA-73240 on inflammation indicators in chicken HD11 macrophages with or without APEC infection. (A–H) Expression levels of IL1β (A), IL8 (B), IL6 (C), TNFα (D), NFκB (E), NLRP3 (F), IFNα (G), and IFNβ (H) were measured via RT-qPCR after HD11 cells were transfected with the lincRNA-73240 overexpression plasmid both in the presence and absence of APEC infection. Data expressed as mean ± SD of four independent experiments; each experiment performed in triplicate; ANOVA test; ns, not significant; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001.
