HKa induces mRNA expression for IL-1β in mononuclear cells. All experiments contain mononuclear cells (4×106/mL) additions were HKa (600 nM) or LPS (10 ng/mL). Lanes (1–7) are indicated as follows: 1, HBSSA 0 hour; 2, HKa 1 hour; 3, HKa 2 hours; 4, LPS 1 hour; 5, LPS 2 hours; 6, HBSSA 1 hour; 7, HBSSA 2 hours. In contrast to IL-1β mRNA, the mRNA of gC1qR is constitutive (present without stimulation at all time points) with both HKa and LPS.
