Figure 4. Effect of alcohol on TERT expression in vitro.

Figure 4

Acute alcohol treatment of RAW 264.7 cells can be achieved with 25 mM EtOH for 24 h. (a) TERT mRNA and protein expression in EtOH-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells were analyzed by real-time PCR and western blot. The results are shown as relative expression against control expression without treatment. The values represent means ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs control. #P<0.05, ##P<0.01 vs EtOH-treated group. (b) Effect of alcohol on M1 macrophage markers (TNF-α, IL-1β, CCL2 and NOS2) in RAW 264.7 cells without or with LPS stimulation. (c) Effect of alcohol on M2 macrophage markers (Arg-1, IL-10, Mrc2 and CD163) in RAW 264.7 cells without or with LPS stimulation. (d) Effect of alcohol on the production of cytokines including TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12 and IL-10 in RAW 264.7 cells without or with LPS stimulation. The results are shown as line chart.
