Fig. 3

The expression of COX-2 in ESCs treated with IL-1β and AICAR is shown (n = 4). GAPDH is shown as the internal control. A: Representative blots illustrating the effect of IL-1β (1 nM) treatment on COX-2 and GAPDH by and/or pretreatment with AICAR (1 mM) for 16 h. The blot layout is in the same order as the graph in panel B. *P < 0.001 vs. controls
