Zinc-α2-glycoprotein 1 attenuates non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by negatively regulating tumour necrosis factor-α

Figure 2 Inhibition of inflammation by AZGP1 in LO2 cells. TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, NF-κB, and MCP-1 mRNA and protein expression was detected in LO2 cells, pEX-3 ± PA/OV-AZGP1 ± PA groups (A-B), and sh-CTRL ± PA/sh-AZGP1 ± PA groups (D-E). IF staining of LO2 cells shows nuclei (blue), AZGP1 protein (green), and TNF-α protein (red) in these groups (C/F). ^aP < 0.05 vs pEX-3 or sh-CTRL cells; ^aP < 0.05 vs pEX-3 + PA or sh-CTRL + PA cells.
