Figure 5

Inflammatory gene expression in kidney and heart tissue. WT, TG and KO mice were i.p injected with LPS. RNA was extracted from the cortex of the kidney and heart 16 h after LPS treatment. qRT-PCR was performed using SYBR green to detect the expression of IL-6, TNF-α, KC and MCP-1 and the housekeeping gene GAPDH was used as the internal control. Data is expressed using the ∆∆CT method and normalized to WT + LPS. (A) Kidney tissues (B) Heart tissues. n = 3–5 = ;*P ≤ 0.05.
