DC-SIGN participated in the TLR4-NFκB pathway. Negative control (NC) or DC-SIGN siRNA was transfected into macrophages treated or not treated with oxLDL (50 μg/ml) or LPS (62.5 ng/ml) for 60 min. Western blot analysis detected the knockdown efficiency of DC-SIGN and the phosphorylation of p38, JNK, IKKε and NFκB (A and B), which was quantified by densitometry in 3 independent experiments and presented as relative units (DC-SIGN/α-tubulin, p38, JNK, IKKε and NFκB phosphorylated protein/total protein). The data are expressed as the mean ± SD from 3 independent tests. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared with the macrophages not treated with oxLDL or LPS, ^## P < 0.01 compared with the NC in the same group. (C) Negative control (NC) or DC-SIGN siRNA was transfected into macrophages treated or not treated with oxLDL (50 μg/ml) or LPS (62.5 ng/ml) for 60 min. Nuclear extracts were then prepared and assayed for p65 activation by EMSA.
