Fig. 2. Absence of NOD2 has a limited effect on PnCW-induced inflammatory transcription.
A. Select inflammatory targets induced by PnCW in control or NOD2-deficient BMDMs. Data for each target mRNA is plotted as the average difference signal intensity. Data are averages from independent (n = 4) Affymetrix arrays performed per genotype and per time. No significant differences (paired t-test) were detected between genotypes. Complete data sets for this experiment have been deposited in the GEO database.
B. Expression of IL-10 target genes is affected in the absence of NOD2 function. Signal intensity for IL-10 (left most in the panel) and selected genes whose expression is dependent, in part, on autocrine-paracrine IL-10 production. *P < 0.05, paired t-test comparing 4 h time points between control and Nod2−/− BMDMs (n = 4).
