Figure 5. IL-6 as a mediator for mast cells induced BPH-1 proliferation.

Figure 5

(A) qRT-PCR analysis of cytokine/chemokine expression levels in mast cells 24 hours after culturing alone or co-culturing with BPH-1 cells. (B) ELISA analysis of IL-2 and IL-6 in the conditioned medium isolated from mast cells, or the co-culture of BPH-1cells and mast cells. (C) BPH-1 cells were co-cultured with mast cells in the presence of anti-IL-2/6 neutralizing antibody or IgG and assayed by MTT assay at 72 hours. *P < 0.05 by Student's t-test, ns: not significant.
