Effect of PPI-m DS G4 dendrimers on mRNA and protein expression of cytokines in THP-1 cells. Panel (a) gene expression at the mRNA level was determined for TNF and IL4 genes by real-time RT-PCR after 24 h of treatment with dendrimers. Data presented as percentage of cognate mRNA expression in control (untreated) cells (number of cognate mRNA copies per 1 copy of geometric-averaged mRNA for reference genes), average ± S.E.M., n = 3. Panel (b) gene expression at the protein level was determined for TNFα and IL-4 by ELISA in cellular supernatants after 24 h of treatment with dendrimers. Data presented as percentage of cytokine levels in supernatants form control (untreated) cells, average ± S.E.M., n = 3.
