LPS increases the expression of RIPK3 in renal tubular epithelial cells in a time-dependent manner. (A) RIPK3 mRNA expression in renal tubular epithelial cells stimulated with 40 µg/ml LPS for 6, 12, 24 or 48 h. (B) RIPK3 protein expression in renal tubular epithelial cells treated with LPS for 6, 12, 24 or 48 h. (C) Quantification of RIPK3 protein expression. *P<0.01 vs. respective CON. RIPK3, receptor-interacting protein kinase 3; CON, control; LPS, lipopolysaccharide.
