Effect of CTSB/S inhibition on NF-κB activation in hepatocytes. Primary mouse hepatocytes were exposed to CA-074 (25 μM) or Z-FL (10 μM), overnight or for 4 h. (a) Nuclear protein levels were analyzed after 10 min TNF challenge. (b) A20 mRNA expression was quantified after 6 h TNF challenge. (c) A20 and IL8 mRNA expression in Hep3B cells pre-treated overnight with CA-074 (25 μM) or Z-FL (10 μM) before 6 h TNF challenge. (d) Immunoblot of CTSB in the cytosolic fraction after challenging LX2 or Hep3B cells with LPS, TNF or chloroquine (CQ, 50 μM) for 60 min. Results are given as mean±S.D., n=5; *P<0.001 versus control, and P<0.001 versus TNF
