Levels of TNFα, IL-6, IL-8 and MCP-1 in mouse trophoblasts (SM9-1) and their media treated with LM-infected mouse B6 macrophage secretory products or IL-1β. a mRNA levels of TNFα, IL-6, IL-8 and MCP-1 detected by RT-PCR in trophoblasts treated with the secretory products of LM-infected macrophages. b-e Protein levels of TNFα, IL-6, IL-8 and MCP-1 in the medium of trophoblasts treated with IL-1β (2, 10 ng/mL) and IL-1β (10 ng/mL) + its antibody (50 ng/mL). The data in (B-E) are shown as means ± standard deviation from three independent experiments. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01. NS: no significance
