The localisation of IL-1β signalling molecule NFκB. (A) NFκB is translocated to the nucleus of (i) adult and (ii) fetal tenocytes following 20 minutes of exposure to IL-1β but remains in the cytoplasm in ESC-derived tenocytes. Scale bar = 20 µm. (B) Quantification of the relative nuclear fluorescent intensity demonstrates that it is significantly increased in adult and fetal tenocytes following IL-1β exposure compared to untreated cells. Error bars represent the s.e.m. of three measurements from each of three biological replicates. *p < 0.05 using an unpaired Student’s T-test. (C) NFκB translocation into the nucleus of adult tenocytes in response to 20 minutes of exposure to 17 ng/ml IL-1β can be blocked by the simultaneous addition of 100 ng/ml IL1Ra. Scale bar = 20 µm.
