Cocultured with THP-1 cells successfully enhanced IL-6 and IL-8 expressions. DPCs were cocultured with different ratios of THP-1 (A) or HL-60 (B) cells with 100 nM PMA and then extracted total RNA after 24 and 48 h. IL-6 and IL-8 mRNA expression were determined by RT-qPCR. A Both THP-1: DPCs = 1:10 and THP-1: DPCs = 1:1 increased IL-6 and IL-8 expression at 24 and 48 h. The data were expressed as the mean ± SD of triplicates from three independent experiments. *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.005; ***, p < 0.0005 compared with THP-1: DPCs = 0:1 untreated control of each time point; ##, p < 0.005 compared with THP-1: DPCs = 1:10 of each time point; Δ, p < 0.05 compare with 24 h of each ratio group. Mann–Whitney test. B Both HL-60: DPCs = 1:10 and HL-60: DPCs = 1:1 increased IL-6 and IL-8 expression at 24 and 48 h. The data were expressed as the mean ± SD of triplicates from three independent experiments. *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.005; ***, p < 0.0005 compared with HL-60: DPCs = 0:1 untreated control of each time point; ###, p < 0.0005 compared with HL-60: DPCs = 1:10 of each time point; Δ, p < 0.05; ΔΔΔ, p < 0.0005 compare with 24 h of each ratio group.
