RGL inhibits LPS-induced IL-8 and MCP-1 expression in a NCoR-dependent manner.

<p>HK-2 cells were transfected with siNCoR to knock down NCoR, or transfected with sicontrol as controls. Two days after transfection, IL-8 and MCP-1 mRNA were quantified after incubated without or with 10 µM RGL for 2 hours followed by stimulation with 1 μg/ml LPS for 4 hours in HK-2 cells and HK-2/NCoR-knockdown cells. (A) Knockdown efficience of NCoR mRNA by siRNA. (B) The expression of IL-8 mRNA in different groups. (C) The expression of MCP-1 mRNA in different groups. The results are representative of three independent experiments. *<i>P</i><0.05 compared to the control group; ^<i>#</i><i>P</i><0.05 compared to the LPS-treated group.
