Figure 3

Relative quantity of hBD-2, CAMP, and psoriasin mRNA in NHK cells.

Notes: NHKs were stimulated by IL-1β (20 ng/mL, positive control), ES0 (6.5 µg/mL), flagellin (100 ng/mL), or alone (negative control). Pretreatment was performed for 1 h with anti-TLR2 ( graphic file with name ccid-9-421Fig5.jpg), anti-TLR4 ( graphic file with name ccid-9-421Fig6.jpg), anti-TLR5 (■) (1 µg/mL), or without antibody (□) to test whether stimulation was blocked in ES0- and flagellin-treated samples; data are the mean of three independent experiments. *P<0.05; **P<0.01; ***P<0.001 versus control or comparator.

Abbreviations: CAMP, cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide; ES0, extract from A. dolomiae; hBD2, beta-defensin 2; NHK, normal human keratinocyte; TLR, toll-like receptor.
