(a) mRNA and (b) protein amounts of SAA in response to HDM (100 μg/ml). (c) SAA1 hexamer after rBlo t 13 stimulation was analyzed as described in Fig. 3b. (d) Bar graph represents quantitative analysis of SAA hexamer using LI-COR Image Studio Software. (e) Concentration-dependent IL-33 release from BEAS-2B cells induced by rBlo t 13. Data are shown as means ± SEM and are pooled data from 2 independent experiments (b, e) each containing n=4–5 replicate wells or representative of 2–3 independent experiments (d). SAA1 mRNA expression, normalized to the average of housekeeping genes, is presented as mean value ± SEM (n = 5). Immunoblot is representative of an experimental n=2. Cropped images are shown. P values were calculated with a two-tailed test using Student’s t-test (a), two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Dunnet’s correction (b) or one-way ANOVA with Dunett’s post hoc analysis (d, e). ****P ≤ 0.0001.
