Here, we aim to understand the role of P38 in the airway epithelial cells response to flagellin. We report the gene expression profile of pig airway epithelial cells cultured under air-liquid conditions, pre-incubated or not with the P38 inhibitor SB203580 (20 µM, Tocris Bioscience) for 1 h and then stimulated with 100 ng/ml of a mutated flagellin (FliC?174-400) for 2h or 24h. Our data show that flagellin stimulation induce the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines mainly through the NFkB pathway, with little impact of P38 inhibition in the cells response. Overall design: RNA-seq analysis of airway epithelial cells pre-incubated (SB) or not (DMSO) with the P38 inhibitor SB203580 and stimulated with 100 ng/ml of flagellin for 2 or 24h.
