OPN was increased in LPS-treated MH-s cells, and OPN-siRNA could silence the expression of OPN. (A) The mRNA expression levels of OPN in MH-s cells were determined by qPCR. (B) ELISAs were used to detected the concentration of OPN in cell supernatant of MH-s cells. (C) The mRNA expression levels of OPN in MH-s cells were determined by qPCR. (D) ELISAs were used to detected the concentration of OPN in cell supernatant of MH-s cells. (E) Western blot analysis of the relative expression levels of OPN in MH-s cells. The data are presented as the means ± standard deviations (S.D.). “*” indicates a difference between groups. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001.
