Effects of PGIS overexpression in RINm5F insulin-producing cells on cell proliferation after exposure to IL-1β alone or a cytokine mixture

RINm5F insulin-producing cells overexpressing PGIS as well as control cells were incubated with IL-1β (600 units/ml) alone or a cytokine mixture (60 units/ml IL-1β, 185 units/ml TNF-α, and 14 units/ml IFNγ) for 72 h. The proliferation rate of the cells was determined by the bromodeoxyuridine-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and expressed as a percentage of the untreated cells. The data are the means ± S.E. with the numbers of experiments in parentheses, each measured in at least three repetitions (analysis of variance followed by Bonferroni).
