GAS5 knockdown alleviates LPS-induced inflammation and apoptosis in THP-1 cells. (A) The knockdown efficiency of GAS5 expression was detected by RT-qPCR. The effect of GAS5 knockdown on the expression of inflammatory factors IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β was analyzed by (B) RT-qPCR and (C) ELISA in LPS-induced THP-1 cells. The effect of GAS5 knockdown on apoptosis was determined by (D) flow cytometry and (E) the western blotting of apoptosis-associated proteins in LPS-induced THP-1 cells. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001 vs. control; ##P<0.01 and ###P<0.001 vs. LPS+sh-NC. GAS5, growth arrest-specific 5; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; RT-qPCR, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR; sh-, short hairpin; NC, negative control; PARP, poly (ADP ribose) polymerase.
