Effect of Deferoxamine (DF, a metal chelator) at 50 μM on the induction IL-6 (a) and IL-8 (b) in BEAS-2B exposed to PM_2.5 (ADEPRC) extracts for 24 h. Cells were treated with PM_2.5 extracts collected during the dust storm (ADEPRC) and non-storm (Non-ADEPRC) season in the presence (w DF) and absence of DF (w/o DF) cytokine induction was measured. LPS (10 mg/ml) was used as a positive control. Bars represent mean IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations ± SEM. Stars over the bars indicate comparison of a treatment with DMSO. Stars over the line indicate a comparison between two treatments. All samples were tested in three independent experiments; **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05.
