Figure 3. Cytokine profiles in keratinocytes cultures from burn injuries.
Fourteen cytokines secreted by keratinocytes and measured in this study were significantly altered in keratinocytes cultures from sites of burn injury. Particularly levels of IL-2, -4, IL-6, -10, IFN-γ, TGF-β1 and TNFα were significantly altered in response to burn injury as compared to controls. Histograms depict culture media concentrations of the respective cytokine at the time of analysis. Bars represent means; error bars correspond to SEM. Asterisks denote statistical difference between cultures from burned skin vs. control skin. (* p<0.05).
