Verifying the specificity of the pathway and examining membrane damage

A. BEAS-2B cells were infected with the indicated lentivirus, and PLA2 expression was measured by western blotting. Upper: representative blots and lower: the optical density of the target band divided by the optical density of the β-actin band. B. BEAS-2B cells were infected with the indicated lentivirus, and treated with LPS 48 h later, and PAF and AA were measured using ELISA. Data are means ± SD from at least three separate replicates.*, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01.
