Adiponectin induces A20 gene expression in fibroblasts. Foreskin fibroblasts were incubated with ultrapure lipolysaccharide (LPS) (500 ng/ml, 30 minutes) (lane 5, left panel) and/or recombinant adiponectin (APN) (10 μg/ml in left panels or as indicated in the right panel) for 0–45 minutes or as indicated. Left panel, levels of RNA determined by qPCR. Results, normalized with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), are means ± SD of triplicate determinations (n = 2). Right panels, western analysis of whole-cell lysates. Representative immunoblots (n = 2). Band intensities, normalized for tubulin in each lane are shown below
