Figure 5. Knockdown of C/EBPδ using siRNA.

Figure 5

Human brain pericytes were transfected with 50 nM of control or C/EBPδ siRNA for 48 hours. Following transfection, cells were treated with vehicle or 10 ng/mL IL-1β for 4–48 hours. Representative immunocytochemistry images of C/EBPδ with treatments are shown (a) and the percentage of cells positive for nuclear C/EBPδ was quantified (b). RNA was extracted following a six hour treatment with IL-1β and C/EBPδ transcript expression was determined via RT-qPCR (c). Protein was extracted following a 24 hour treatment with IL-1β and C/EBPδ expression determined by western blotting (d,e). Blots are cropped to improve clarity. Full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Figure S2. *** = p < 0.001. Scale bar = 100 μm.
