Dexamethasone represses IL-1β-induced cytokines but not RSV-induced cytokines. A549 cells were inoculated with live rgRSV (MOI = 3) for 1 h followed by treatment with 100 nm dexamethasone for 5 h or were treated with 1 ng/ml IL-1β in the presence or absence of 100 nm dexamethasone for 6 h. RSV or IL-1β induction of IL-6 and IL-8 was determined by real-time PCR and normalized to GAPDH and CAP-1. Induction by RSV or IL-1β alone was normalized to 100% (white bars) and induction in the presence of dexamethasone (black bars) calculated. Means and sd are shown (n = 3).
