Impact of LIGHT (homologous to lymphotoxin, exhibits inducible expression, and competes with HSV glycoprotein D for herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM), a receptor expressed by T lymphocytes) on the expression of interleukin-8 (IL-8) in Huh7 (human hepatoma cell line) hepatocytes. Effect of recombinant human LIGHT (ng/ml) on the expression of IL-8 in Huh7 hepatocytes after (a and b) 2 h and (c and d) 8 h stimulation. Left panels show mRNA levels of IL-8 from cell lysates, as assessed by real-time reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR), in relation to the control gene β-actin, and right panels show protein levels of IL-8 measured in the supernatant from cells by enzyme immunoassay. Data are given as mean±s.e.m., n=6. *P=0.06, *P<0.05, **P<0.01, and ****P<0.0001 vs. US (unstimulated).
