p.g‐LPS down‐regulates Pros1 in hGECs. (A) hGECs were treated with p.g‐LPS at indicated concentrations for 24 hours. Cell viability was determined by the MTT assay. Untreated cells (0 ng/mL p.g‐LPS) were used as control. n = 3, **P < 0.01 vs untreated cells. (B, C) hGECs were treated with 10 g/mL p.g‐LPS for 24 hours. Pros1 mRNA and protein levels were determined by qRT‐PCR (B) and Western blot analysis (C) respectively. n = 3, **P < 0.01
