Fig. 2. Poly(I:C) potentiates the expression of MDA5 in vitro.
a The apoptotic rate of NHKs in response to Poly(I:C), detected by flow cytometry assay. b, c The RNA levels (b) and protein levels (c) of IFIH1 in NHKs with Poly(I:C) concentration rose, detected by qRT-PCR assay and Western-blot respectively. d The expression of MDA5 in NHKs in response to 0.6 μg/ml Poly(I:C) within 48 h, determined by Western-blot assay. e The expression of MDA5 in NHKs stimulated by 0.6 μg Poly(I:C) for 24 h, detected by immunofluorescence assay. Bar = 10 μm. The data are representative of three independently performed experiments. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. ns, not significant.
