Figure 7. The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in the supernatants of cardiac fibroblast cultures treated with IL-17.

Figure 7

The IL-17 (10 ng/ml)-treated group produced higher levels of IL-6 and TNF-α cytokines than the control- and IL-17 (5 ng/ml)-treated groups. Moreover, IL-6 in the IL-17 (5 ng/ml)-treated group was highly expressed in the supernatants of the heart homogenates (ELISA). The values in the IL-17-treated CFs were normalized to the values in the control cells (n = 5 per group). The data represent the mean ± SEM. **P<0.01 vs control group, ## P<0.01 vs control group.
