Glo1 depletion and related downstream events are under the partial control of IL-1β in CAL62 cells. Effects of IL-1β on (A) Glo1 enzyme activity; (B) Glo1 transcript and protein levels; (C) intracellular levels of MG-H1; (D) TGF-β1 and p-FAK levels, measured in the culture supernatant or lysate of CAL62, respectively; (E) migration and invasion capabilities; and (F) IL-1β signaling, evaluated by the levels of IL1 receptor type I (ILR1) (measured in the cell lysates), phospho-TAK1 (p-TAK1) (measured in the cell lysates), and P65 NF-kB (measured in the nuclear extracts). Western blots are representative of three different cultures, each tested in triplicate. β-actin was used as internal loading control for WB normalization. Histograms indicate mean ± SD of three different cultures, each tested in triplicate. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001 compared to untreated cells.
