Fig. 1From: Genome-wide transcriptional profiling and functional analysis of long noncoding RNAs and mRNAs in chicken macrophages associated with the infection of avian pathogenic E. coliEffect of avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) infection on immune response of chicken macrophages. A The morphology of chicken macrophages with or without APEC infection. B The cell viability of chicken macrophages before and after APEC infection. C The nitric oxide (NO) production of chicken macrophages before and after APEC infection. D-G. The mRNA expression level of IL6 (D), IL8 (E), IL1β (F), and TNFα (G) in chicken macrophages before and after APEC infection. Data are shown as mean ± SD; n = 4 independent experiments; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; NS, not significantBack to article page
