Figure 4. Cyclic stretch modulates toll-like receptor (TLR) gene expression.

Figure 4

(A–H) VA10 cells were subjected to cyclic stretch for 6 h and 24 h. The mRNA expression of TLR1 (A), TLR2 (B), TLR3 (C), TLR4 (D), TLR5 (E), TLR6 (F), TLR8 (G) and TLR9 (H) was analysed with q-RT PCR (n = 3, mean ± S.E.). Relative expression levels (y-axis) in static cells were defined with an arbitrary value of ‘1’ and changes relative to this value in stretched samples are represented (ns indicates non-significant; p < 0.05, ∗; p < 0.01, ∗∗; p < 0.0001, ∗∗∗∗).
