Statins and zoledronic acid (ZOL) suppress gene and protein expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in IGROV-1 cells. IGROV-1 cells were treated with increasing concentrations of atorvastatin (ATO), simvastatin (SIM), rosuvastatin (ROSU) or ZOL for 24 h. Expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α and interleukin (IL)8 was assessed by quantitative real-time-PCR (a). Expression of IL6 was assessed by quantitative real-time-PCR after 24 h of treatments (b). Supernatants of treated IGROV-1 cells were collected after 48 h of treatments and analyzed for IL-6 protein levels by human IL-6 ELISA (b.) Data are shown as mean ± SEM of at least three individual experiments. (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 vs. respective control (0 μM))
