LPS-induced TRIM31 upregulation and cell apoptosis. (a) Real-time PCR was performed to measure the relative mRNA expression of TRIM31 in peripheral blood samples from 35 septic patients and 25 normal patients. *, P < 0.05, ***, P < 0.001 vs normal persons. (b) Cell proliferation was analyzed after stimulation with LPS (three repetitions). (c) Cell apoptosis was analyzed after LPS treatment. (d, e): The mRNA and protein levels of TRIM31 were measured by qRT-PCR (d) and Western blot (e). ***, P < 0.001 vs 0 μg/ml LPS
