Long-Lasting Effect of Infant Rats Endotoxemia on Heat Shock Protein 60 in the Pancreatic Acinar Cells: Involvement of Toll-Like Receptor 4

Figure 10

Western blot analysis of proapoptotic initiator caspase-9 protein level in the adult rat pancreatic acinar cells under basal conditions (lane 1), treated in the infant animals by lipopolysaccharide (Escherichia coli) at the doses of 5 mg/kg/day × 5 days (lane 2), 10 mg/kg/day × 5 days (lane 3), and 15 mg/kg/day × 5 days (lane 4) after 5 hours of incubation. The blots were stripped and probed with GAPDH to document equal protein loading. All presented results were obtained in 4 consecutive experiments and are representative of the observed phenomenon.
