IL7AS and MIR3142HG regulate the IL-1β-stimulated inflammatory response in control fibroblasts. Control fibroblasts were transfected overnight with LNA antisense sequences against IL7AS (A/C/E/G) and MIR3142HG (B/D/F/H) or scrambled (negative) controls. Cell were then stimulated with IL-1β for 24 h prior to isolation of RNA and measurement of IL7AS (A) or MIR3142HG (B) by qRT-PCR or measurement of supernatant IL-6 (C,D), IL-8 (E,F), and CCL2 (G,H) by ELISA. Data represents the mean ± SEM of five control individuals. Following normalization against the IL1β-stimulated cells (100%), statistical significance was assessed (vs. IL1β-stimulated cells) using the repeat measures 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a Dunnett's test where *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, and ****p < 0.0001.
