Association of TRAF6 haplotypes with peritoneal immune activation. (A) Concentrations of soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) in non-infected ascites are shown for the different TRAF6 haplotypes. (BD) mRNA expression of TRAF6, IL-6 and CXCL8 in freshly isolated peritoneal macrophages are shown for the respective TRAF6 haplotypes and were expressed relative to the housekeeping gene ß-actin. (E) Nuclear concentrations of active NF-κB p65 in freshly isolated peritoneal macrophages are shown for the respective haplotypes. (F) Quantification of CXCL8 in supernatants from cultivated primary peritoneal macrophages, which were left unstimulated or were stimulated with LPS (10 ng/ml) for 24 hours. All data are expressed as boxplots (min to max). Non-risk haplotypes (HTs) including HT1, HT3 and the mixed haplotype are indicated (right panels) and were pooled and compared to the risk haplotype HT2 (left panels). Numbers of analyzed samples are indicated. P values indicate differences between HT2 and non-risk HTs in Mann-Whitney U test. n.s.: not significant.
