Effect of blockade of interleukin-1 (IL-1Ra) action on cytokine release from placental explants exposed to oxidative stress or hypoxia. Explants were exposed to oxidative stress (1 mM H2O2), or hypoxia (1% O2), in the presence or absence of IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra). Cytokines were measured in conditioned medium: (a) IL-1α, (b) IL-β, (c) IL-6, (d) IL-8, (e) CCL2. Line represents median, n = 8–12. Asterisks represent significant differences compared to control (con) *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. Plus signs represent significant differences compared to H2O2 or 1%O2 alone + p < 0.05, +  + p < 0.01, +  +  + p < 0.001. Friedman with Dunn’s multiple comparison test.
