Fig. 8. RECK expression in primary monocytes at in vitro (A) and in vivo (B) settings.

Fig. 8.

(A & C) Primary monocytes were isolated from peripheral blood of wild-type and miR-21 KO mice and treated with 30 μg/mL of Nano-Ni or with either Nano-Ni-P or Nano-Ni-C with same molar concentration of Ni as Nano-Ni for 24 h. The RECK expression was determined by real-time PCR and normalized by endogenous control bactin (A) or by Western blot (C). Data are shown as mean ± SE (n=3). * p<0.05 vs. Control. (B) Wild-type or miR-21 KO mice were intratracheally instilled with 50 μg per mouse of Nano-Ni or with either Nano-Ni-P or Nano-Ni-C with same molar concentration of Ni as Nano-Ni, and monocytes were isolated from peripheral blood at day 3 after exposure. Mice treated with physiological saline were used as the control. The RECK expression was determined by real-time PCR and normalized by endogenous control β-actin. Data are shown as mean ± SE (n=3~6). * p<0.05 vs. Control.
