Multiplex analysis of human keratinocytes after infection with S. aureus for 1 h followed by addition of the indicated concentrations of PLNC8 αβ for (A) 6 h or (B) 24 h. PLNC8 αβ alone induced the release of different keratinocyte factors, while low concentration of PLNC8 αβ significantly suppressed S. aureus-induced inflammatory mediators. Decimals are removed for number > 10. One-way ANOVA with Sidak’s multiple comparison test, p-values of < 0.05 are shown, compared to the *negative control (without bacteria or peptides) and #positive control (S. aureus-infected cells without PLNC8 αβ).
