Increased cathepsin S, B, and L mRNA after bFGF treatment of macrophages and microglia for 24 hr. RAW macrophages (A, B) and N13 microglial (C, D) cells were treated for 24 hr in the presence of various doses of bFGF, total RNA was isolated, and specific mRNAs for cathepsins S, B, and L were detected by Northern analysis as described in Materials and Methods. Data shown in A and C are representative results; data in B and D are mean ± SEM from three experiments performed independently. Graphs represent densitometry of specific bands performed on phosphorimager.
