Fig 4. TSH-induced TNFα mRNA expression involves Akt and NF-κB.

Fig 4

AKTi (A) or MG132 (B) was added 1 hour before TSH stimulation of healthy cultured fibrocytes. RNA was isolated after 6 hours of induction. AKTi treatment leads to significant reduction in TSH-induced TNFα mRNA expression (from 23-fold to 1.3-fold expression, p <0.0001) (A). Similarly, MG132 treatment inhibits TSH-induced TNFα mRNA expression (from 93-fold to 16-fold expression; p< 0.001) (B).
