Fig. 4From: Echinococcus granulosus cyst fluid inhibits inflammatory responses through inducing histone demethylase KDM5B in macrophagesEgCF promoted transcription and protein stability of KDM5B. The expressions of histone demethylase gene (A) and differentially expressed KDM5B (B) were obtained from RNA-seq data of mouse peritoneal macrophages treated with LPS and EgCF. Mouse peritoneal macrophages were treated with EgCF (50% v/v) and LPS (1 μg/ml) for 6 h, and mRNA expression levels of KDM5B, KDM6B, and KDM7A (C) were detected by qRT-PCR. RAW 264.7 cells were treated with EgCF (50% v/v) and LPS (1 μg/ml) for 6 h, and mRNA levels of KDM5B were measured by qRT-PCR (D). Protein levels of KDM5B were measured by Western blotting (E). THP-1 cells were treated with EgCF (50% v/v) and LPS (1 μg/ml) for 6 h. mRNA levels of KDM5B were measured by qRT-PCR (F), and protein levels of KDM5B were measured by Western blotting (G). Protein levels of KDM5B were measured in THP-1 cells stimulated with EgCF (50% v/v) and LPS (1 μg/ml) for 15, 30, 60, 120, and 240 min (H). RAW 264.7 cells were treated with cycloheximide (CHX, 50 μg/ml) in combination with EgCF and LPS for 2, 4, and 6 h. Protein levels of KDM5B were measured by Western blotting (I). RAW 264.7 cells were treated with the SUMOylation inhibitor TAK-981 (0.5 µM and 1.0 µM) in combination with EgCF and LPS for 6 h, and KDM5B protein levels were measured by Western blotting (J). C, D, F Data are presented as the mean + SEM of three independent experiments and compared using the one-way ANOVA and Tukey test.
