IL-25 induces ERs in 16HBE cells. (a) Expression of BIP and CHOP were measured by immunofluorescent staining with BIP and CHOP antibody. DAPI was used for staining nucleus. TRICT-conjugated secondary abs (red) and FITC-conjugated secondary abs (green) were used for binding confocal laser scanning microscopy (original magnification, ×400). Fluorescence intensity of BIP (b) and CHOP (c) were quantified at 10 random fields. The mRNA levels of CHOP induced by IL25 were detected at a dose-dependent manner (d) (0 ng/ml, 1 ng/ml, 10 ng/ml, 100 ng/ml) and a time-dependent manner (e) (0 h, 4 h, 12 h, 24 h). All data were represented as means ± SEM (n = 6, one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc, significant differences were defined as p < 0.05).
