Fig 4. Effect of LAB on TGF-β induced proinflammatory cytokine/chemokine expression in LX-2 cells.

Fig 4

Confluence LX-2 cells were treated with LAB for 48 h, and stimulated with TGF-β for 24 h. The IL-6, CXCL-8, CCL2, IL-1β, TNF-α, and TRAF6 expression levels were determined by RT-PCR. The LX-2 cells, either with medium or TGF-β alone, were used as the negative and positive control. Two independent experiments (n = 3) were performed, and the average values (mean + S.D) are shown. *p <0.05, ** p <0.01, ***p <0.001.
