“…qRT–PCR assays were performed with the MiniOpticon real-time PCR detection system (Bio-Rad) using total RNA and the GoTaq one-step real-time PCR kit with SYBR green (Promega, Beijing, China) and the appropriate primers as previously described (Wang et al ., 2010b). The GenBank accession number and forward and reverse primers for human COX-2, mPGES-1 (Wang et al ., 2011a,b), IL-1β (Wang et al ., 2012), p65 (Wang et al ., 2010a,b), and GAPDH (Wang et al ., 2010b) are provided in our previous publications; for human BACE-1 (NM_138973) F-GCAGGGCTACTACGTGGAGA, R-GTATCCACCAGGATGTTGAGC; for rat mPGES-1 (NM_021583) F-AGGGTGCCATGTTTTCAGAG, R-CAGTCTTTGGAGGAGCCAAG; COX-2 (NM_17232) F-AAAGCCTCGTCCAGATGCTA, R-ATGGTGGC TGTCTTGGTAGG; IL-1β (NM_031512) F-AGGCTTCCTTGTGCAAGTGT, R-TGAGTGACACTGCCTTCCTG; GAPDH (NM_017008) F-GGCATGGA CTGTGGTCATGA, R-TTCACCACCATGGAGAAGGC; for mouse COX-2 (NM_011198) F-CCAGCACTTCACCCATCAGTT, R-ACCCAGGTCCTCG CTTATGA; BACE-1 (NM_011792) F-CCGGCGGGAGTGGTATTATGA AGT, R-GATGGTGATGCGGAAGGACTGATT; GAPDH (NM_008084) F-AACTTTGGCATTGTGGAAGG, R-ACACATTGGGGGTAGGAACA.…”
