IL-25 increases the respiratory capacity of macrophages. RAW264.7 macrophages and/or BMMCs were treated for 48 h with different cytokines or mediators, such as IL-5, IL-15, IL-25, IFNγ and LPS. (a) The expression of the CPT1α protein in RAW264.7 macrophages and BMMCs. (b, c) The total NAD (NADt) and decomposed NAD (NADH) production in RAW264.7 cells (b) and BMMCs (c) treated with cytokines. The data are presented as the mean±s.d. of three independent experiments. n=3; *P<0.05 versus the Veh-NADH group; #P<0.05 versus the Veh-NADt group. (d) MitoTracker staining showed the mitochondrial mass and fusion in RAW264.7 macrophages and BMMCs treated with cytokines. Scale bar: 10 μm. (e) The ATP production in RAW264.7 cells and BMMCs treated with cytokines. The data are presented as the mean±s.d. of three independent experiments. n=3; *P<0.05 versus the Veh group. (f) OCRs in BMMCs. The data are presented as the mean±s.d., n=5. BMMC, bone marrow-derived macrophage; IFN, interferon; IL, interleukin; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; OCR, oxygen consumption rate.
