BCG induces MKP-1 expression. (A) Human monocytes were treated with BCG (MOI = 1 CFU/cell) for the indicated time points and RNA was harvested. MKP-1 level was assayed by using QPCR. Results are shown as mean ± SD from 3 different donors. * = p < 0.05. (B) Cells were treated as in (A) for the indicated time points and proteins were collected. MKP-1 protein levels were measured by Western blotting. Independent experiments were done on monocytes from 3 different donors and one representative set of results is shown. The intensities of the protein bands were determined by using Bio-Rad Quantity One imaging software. The intensities of MKP-1 were normalized to the corresponding actin. The values in parenthesis are the relative normalized intensities compared to those of untreated cells.
