Fig 5

Murine alveolar macrophage cells (MH-S, ATCC CRL-2019) derived from a BALB/C strain mouse were incubated with 100 μM of Ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) for 1, 3, and 5 days. A. Shown are iron and ROS levels in FAC-treated cells. B. Shown are relative mRNA expression levels of selected chemokines/cytokines in FAC-treated mouse alveolar macrophages examined by qRT-PCR. Relative expression levels of the cytokines were normalized to the GNB2L1 housekeeping gene and calculated using the 2^ΔΔCt method. Mann-Whitney test (*) and (**) denote statistical significance (P < 0.05, P < 0.01, respectively) vs. control.
