Activation of TLR4 signaling in control and SP-R210_L(DN) cells.

<p>Macrophages were stimulated with 100 ng/mL LPS and harvested at indicated time points. Non-stimulated (NS) and stimulated cells were harvested and processed for Western blot analysis. Blots were probed with IRAK-1 (A) or NFκB p65 (B) antibodies, stripped, and then reprobed with IκB or phosphorylated p65 antibodies, respectively. Blots were stripped and then re-probed with tubulin as loading control. Densitometry analysis compared the levels of phosphorylated p65 relative to tubulin (C). Blots in A and B are representative of 2–4 independent experiments. Data shown in C are means±SD, n = 2- independent experiments. *p<0.05.
