TLR-4 pathway mediators’ expression after eHSP60 stimulation, and IL-8 and CREB1 mRNA expression after p38 inhibition. p38α mRNA after (a) eHSP60 and (b) LPS stimulations; (c) p65 mRNA and (d) CREB1 mRNA after eHSP60 stimulation. p38α tended to increase at 2 h of treatment with eHSP60 (P = 0.0733); LPS up-regulated p38α at 1 h of exposure; eHSP60 exposure up-regulated p65 at 2 and 4 h of exposure as well as CREB1 at 4 h of exposure. (e) IL-8 and (f) CREB1 mRNA after a 30-min pre-treatment with the p38 inhibitor SB203580 (p38i) followed by treatment with eHSP60. The p38 inhibitor inhibited IL-8 mRNA up-regulation after 2 h (e) of exposure previously observed after the eHSP60 stimulation and abolished the CREB1 up-regulation after 4 h of exposure to eHSP60. Data are presented as mean ± SD of quadruplicate experiments.
