Figure 3. Ets2 inhibits VSV-induced IFN-β, IL-6, and TNF-α production in macrophages. (AC) IFN-β (A), IL-6 (B) and TNF-α (C) mRNA expression of cells stimulated with VSV at an MOI of 10 for the indicated times. d-f: IFN-β (D), IL-6 (E), and TNF-α (F) mRNA expression in Ets2fl/flLyz2cre or Ets2fl/flLyz2cre+ mouse primary peritoneal macrophages stimulated with VSV at an MOI of 10 for the indicated times. (GI) ELISA assay of IFN-β (G), IL-6 (H), and TNF-α (I) in the supernatants of cells stimulated with VSV at an MOI of 10 for the indicated times. (JL) ELISA assay of IFN-β (J), IL-6 (K), and TNF-α (L) in the supernatants of the cells stimulated with VSV at an MOI of 10 for the indicated times in Ets2fl/flLyz2creor Ets2fl/flLyz2cre+ mouse primary peritoneal macrophages. Data are shown as the mean ± s.d. of three samples. Student’s t-test compared with the control or Ets2fl/flLyz2cre- group. *, P<0.05, and **, P<0.01.
