MgTX regulates macrophage polarization in vitro. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blot analysis were performed to detect the expression of M1 markers and M2 markers in RAW264.7 cells. (A-H) mRNA expression levels of iNOS, CCL2, TNF-α and IL-1β were downregulated by MgTX in M1 phenotype macrophages. mRNA expression levels of IL-10, CD163, Arg-1, MAC-2 were upregulated in M2 phenotype macrophages treated with MgTX compared with M2 phenotype macrophages. (I-Q) protein expression levels of M1 markers (iNOS, CCL2, TNF-α and IL-1β) and protein expression levels of M2 markers (IL-10, CD163, Arg-1, Mrc2) were measured by western blot analysis. ^*P<0.05, ^**P<0.01, M1 vs. M1 + MgTX group, M2 vs. M2 + MgTX group. control group (N), n=3. MgTX, margatoxin; CCL2, C-C motif chemokine ligand 2; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α; IL, interleukin; CD, cluster of differentiation.
