Role of hepatic macrophage subsets and effects of Ccr5 deficiency on macrophage activation in NEMO LPC-deficient mice. (A) Hepatic macrophage subsets (CD11b+F4/80int monocytic macrophages and CD11bintF4/80+ KCs) were sorted from livers of 8-week-old NEMOWT and NEMOLPC-KO mice, and mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines and markers was quantified using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. (B) BMDMs were generated from 8-week-old NEMOLPC-KO and NEMOLPC-KOCcr5–/– and cultured for 6 days, followed by 24 hours of stimulation with 20-ng/mL IL4, or IFNγ, and mRNA expression of inflammatory markers was analyzed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Data represent median of n = 2–6; ∗P < .05, ∗∗∗P < .001 (1-way analysis of variance).
