IFN-γ modulates TGF-ß1-induced cytokine and adhesion molecule expression of cardiac fibroblasts. To determine the inflammatory phenotype after stimulation with TGF-ß1, IFN-γ, or both, the mRNA expression of (A) TNF-α, (B) IL-6, (C) ICAM-1, and (D) VCAM-1 was investigated. Bar graphs represent the mean ± SEM of 3 independent experiments after normalization to the corresponding control fibroblasts. Statistical analysis was performed by One way-ANOVA or Kruskal Wallis test (#p < 0.05 vs co, *p < 0.05 vs TGF-β1, §p < 0.05 vs IFN-γ).
