Fig 3. 1,8-cineol-treamtent leads to significantly decreased levels of MUC gene expression after their LPS-dependent stimulation.

Fig 3

A: Real time PCR analyses of nasal slice culture depicted increased levels of MUC2 after LPS-treatment, which were significantly reduced in LPS- and 1,8-cineol-treated approaches. B: No significant changes in gene expression level of MUC5AC in nasal slice cultures after LPS- as well as LPS- and 1,8-cineol-treatment shown by real time PCR. C: Real time PCR analyses revealed decreased levels of MUC19 in nasal slice cultures co-treated with LPS- and 1,8-cineol in comparison to LPS-treated approaches. D: Real time PCR analyses showed decreased expression levels of TNFα in nasal slice cultures co-treated with LPS- and 1,8-cineol compared to LPS-treated approaches. *p < 0.5, **p < 0.01 were considered significant (t-test); ns: not significant (t-test). GAPDH: Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
