SAG regulates apoptosis of J774 macrophages by modulating the balance between anti- and proapoptotic factors in a timely manner. LPS (10 ng/ml) and polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) (10 μg/ml) stimulation resulted in bimodal peaks (at 3 and 24 h) of proapoptotic Bax and SARM, and a single peak (over 6–12 h) each of antiapoptotic SAG and Bcl-2 (a (i and iii) and b, blue box). SAG-knockdown cells maintained expression of Bcl-2 but sustained the expression of the proapoptotic Bax and SARM at high levels (over 3–36 h; a (ii and iv) and red box in b). The PAMP-challenged cells were examined by both (a) intracellular staining (see FACS analysis data; Supplementary Figure S5) and (b) immunoblotting analysis. Data are presented as fluorescence intensity ±S.D. (n=3)
