Inflammatory response of airway epithelial cells exposed to poly(I:C) or LPS. a Primary human AEC were cultured under submerged conditions without (−) or with poly(I:C) (pIC) or LPS (LPS) in presence or not of TGF-β.Cytokine and chemokine secretion was investigated after 24 h of culture. b AEC were pretreated with a TLR3/dsRNA complex inhibitor (614310) before analysis of cytokine and chemokine secretion. Data in A and B are derived from 6 and 3 independent experiments. Statistical significances were determined with a one-way ANOVA followed by a Tukey’s post-hoc test
