Figure 7. Both RANKL- and IL-4-induced macrophage fusion were impaired in NIK−/− BMM.

Figure 7

NIK+/+ and NIK−/− BMM were treated with cytokines as indicated for 5 days. A. TRAP or crystal violet staining was performed and representative digital images are shown (40×). B. The average area per GC (μm2) was measured and statistical analysis was performed as shown in Figure 3. **, p<0.01.*, p<0.05. C. Total RNA was prepared and real time RT-PCR was performed to measure fusion-related gene expression in NIK+/+ and NIK−/− BMM. The results are shown as the mean± SD of triplicate samples. **, p<0.01.
