Total RNA was extracted using an ISOLATE II RNA kit (Bioline, 52073) and cDNA synthesis was performed with the SensiFAST cDNA synthesis kit (Bioline, BIO-65054). TaqMan Probes were obtained from Thermo Fisher (GAPDH: Mm99999915_g1; IL-6: Mm00446190_m1; pro-IL-1β: Mm00434228_m1; IL10: Mm004396). Primers for the detection of XBP1, IL-8, and actin were previously published (45 (link)-47 (link)). qPCR was performed as described previously (44 (link)).
