Effects of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) 101, 153, and 180 alone (A and C) or in combination (B and D), on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced TLR4 and CD14 mRNA expression. J774A.1 macrophages were exposed to PCBs at 300 nM, alone or mixed, in the presence of LPS (10 ng/ml) for 4 h. Therefore, cells were lysed to collect RNA, as described in Materials and Methods section. The mRNA expression levels were analyzed by real-time PCR. Data are means ± SEM of 3 independent experiments. As specified in the Materials and Methods section, when PCBs were used in combination, final concentration of pollutants was always 300 nM. **P < .01 and ***P < .001 versus untreated cells; #P < .05; ##P < .01 and ###P < .001 versus LPS-treated cells.
