OPN-siRNA decreases inflammatory cytokine responses in LPS-treated MH-s cells. (A) The mRNA expression levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in MH-s cells were determined by qPCR. (B) Western blot analysis of the relative expression levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β 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. Osteopontin, OPN; interleukin, IL; tumour necrosis factor, TNF; negative control, NC; Small interfering RNA, SiRNA; lipopolysaccharide, LPS; Mouse alveolar macrophage cells, MH-s; Quantitative Real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, qPCR
