Inhibition of Gm13568 downregulates Notch1 signaling activation as well as inflammatory cytokine production in astrocytes by IL-9. a Primary mouse astrocytes were infected with recombinant lentivirus, LV-Inhibit-Gm13568 and LV-ctrl, for 72 h, respectively. Then, the astrocytes were incubated in a serum-free medium overnight followed by IL-9 stimulation for 6 h. Western blot assay was used for measuring the protein expressions of GFAP, Notch1/NICD, and p-STAT3. b The mRNA levels of IL-6, TNF-α and IP-10 in astrocytes were measured by real-time PCR assay. c The secretion of IL-6, TNF-α, and IP-10 in the supernatant of astrocytes were analyzed by CBA assay. The data are represented as the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001 versus DMEM group; ##p < 0.01 and ###p < 0.001 versus LV-ctrl+IL-9 group (one-way ANOVA, the two-tailed Student’s t test)
