Hyperthermia inhibited IL-6 mRNA and production in HCFs. (a) IL-6 mRNA expression in HCFs stimulated by hyperthermia (42 °C) and/or TGF-β1 for 6 h (n = 4, ***p < 0.001). (b) IL-6 production from HCFs stimulated by hyperthermia (42 °C) and/or TGF-β1 for 24 h (n = 4, ***p < 0.001, ns: no significant difference). (c) Time dependence of the effect of hyperthermia (42 °C) effect on IL-6production in the presence of TGF-β1 for 24 h (n = 4–5, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001). (d) Effects of hyperthermia (42 °C) and mild hyperthermia (39 °C) on IL-6 production in the presence of TGF-β1 for 24 h (n = 4–8, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001).
