NLRP12 inhibition regulates cellular proliferation. (a) NLRP12 expression was observed in glioma (LN18) and microglial (BV2) cells using immunofluorescence (magnification: 40X, scale bar: 50 μm). (b) Colony formation assay shows increased cellular proliferation in the NLRP12si treated microglia. Magnification: 40X. (c,d) Quantification of both BV2 and LN18 cells per colony. (e) Effect of LN18 (NLRP12 siRNA treated) cell conditioned medium (CM) on BV2 cell migration was assessed using migration assay. 8 image sections per sample were quantified for migration analysis. Student’s t-test and one-way AVOVA were performed to find the statistical significance of colony formation and migration assay respectively (p-value; *<0.05, **<0.005). The error bar indicates standard error of mean. (f) NLRP12 expression in human normal brain tissue and glioma sections, using anti-NLRP12 antibody (N = 7). Nuclei were stained blue with DAPI and microglia were stained green with FITC tagged lectin RCA (Ricinus Communis Agglutinin-1); Magnification: 20X, scale bar: 100 µm.
