Pneumococci-induced KLF4 expression is not induced by TLR ligands or pneumolysin (ply). Wt BMMs were stimulated with 10⁶ CFU/ml R6x, 100 ng LPS (TLR4 ligand), 100 ng/ml MALP-2 (TLR2 ligand) or 1 µg/ml CpG (TLR9 ligand) (a) or with either 10⁶ CFU/ml R6x or 10⁶ CFU/ml R6xΔply (c). Cell lysates were collected after 6 h and analysed for KLF4 expression and actin for equal protein load. All blots are representatives out of 3 independent experiments with similar results. The densitometry of the KLF4 and actin bands of the blots was quantified using Odyssey 2.0 infrared imaging system. The ratio between the KLF4 and actin densitometry was calculated. (b) Shows the quantification of the blots of experiment (a) and (d) for (c). Data represents mean of 3 independent experiments. Differences were indicated as follows: ***p < 0.001.
