Treating MVs with benzonase reduces the IFN-β mRNA expression in both WT and TLR3−/− RAW 264.7 macrophages compared to macrophages stimulated with untreated MVs. (AD) Wild-type, TLR3−/−,TLR7−/−, TLR9−/− macrophage cells were stimulated with untreated MVs (10 µg/mL total protein), bMVs (10 µg/mL total protein), or with HEPES-NaCl (NT) for 3 h. Treated macrophages were homogenized and β-actin and IFN-β mRNA expression levels were measured using qPCR. Data are expressed as means ± SE of triplicate samples and are representative of three independent experiments. n.s, not significant; **p < 0.005; ****p < 0.0001.
