The roles of STIM1 and ORAI1 in LPS-induced COX-2 gene expression. STIM1 shRNA and ORAI1 shRNA were respectively transfected into AGS cells using Lipofectamine. (a) Immunoblot of STIM1 (80 kDa) and ORAI1 (31 kDa) after knockdown of the respective gene. 2 μg shRNA was used for transfection, and the total cell lysate was harvested for immunoblotting at 24 h post-transfection. (b) Cells were treated either with or without LPS after knockdown of STIM1 or ORAI1. RNA was extracted for COX-2 mRNA quantification by a real-time PCR. Statistical significance (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01) of the difference was determined by Student’s t-test.
