Microglia‐like BV2 and neuron‐like SH‐SY5Y were treated with TLR3 agonist Poly(I:C) (50 μg/ml), TLR4 agonist LPS (100 ng/ml), or EtOH (150 mM) for 24 hours. Cell lysates were collected and analyzed for mRNA expression using RT‐PCR. Data for mRNA are expressed as %control (%CON), with CON set at 100%. Data for HMGB1, TNF‐α, IL‐1β, and IL‐6 for LPS and Poly(I:C) treatment in BV2 are also represented in Fig. 4 A,C. Data for HMGB1, TNF‐α, IL‐1β, IL‐6, TLR2, 3, 4, 7, 8, Myd88, Cd14, MD‐2, and RAGE for EtOH treatment in BV2 are also represented in Fig. 5 A,B. Data for HMGB1, TNF‐α, IL‐1β, and IL‐6 for LPS and Poly(I:C) treatment in SH‐SY5Y are also represented in Fig. 7 A,C. Data for HMGB1, TNF‐α, IL‐1β, IL‐6, TLR2, 3, 4, 7, 8, Myd88, Cd14, MD‐2, and RAGE for EtOH treatment in SH‐SY5Y are also represented in Fig. 8 A,B. n.d. = not detectable; n = 3 per group.

Bolded values represent data significantly different versus control. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 versus CON.
