TLR4 deficiency reduces pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines expression and classically activated M1 macrophage. Fifty micrograms of protein from each group were separated on SDS-PAGE and incubated with appropriate antibodies overnight. (A) Representative cropped immunoblot images for MCP-1, MIP-2, CD68, a marker for M1 type macrophage, TNF α and IL-6 showing reduced expression in TLR4 deficiency mice in response to Ang-II treatment, (B,C) Data normalized to to β-actin and presented as mean ± SEM, (D) mRNA fold change for MCP-1 and MIP-2 assessed by real-time PCR. Results are expressed as fold change relative to control mice (C3HeOuJ + Saline). n = 5/group, tested by Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney rank sum test. *p < 0.05 vs. C3HeJ + saline, p < 0.05 vs. C3HeOuJ + Ang-II, p < 0.05 vs. C3HeOuJ + saline. C3HeOuJ: normal TLR4, C3HeJ: TLR4 deficiency.
