Cytokine production in HepG2 cells. Pro-inflammatory (A–C, E–G) and anti-inflammatory (D,H) cytokines. Data presented as mean ± SD of three independent experiments performed in triplicate. All data sets were analyzed by one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s post-hoc test. *, p ≤ 0.05; **, p ≤ 0.01; ***, p ≤ 0.001; ****, p ≤ 0.0001. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences. C, unstimulated control group; IFN-γ, interferon-γ; IL, interleukin; LPS, lipopolysaccharide-stimulated cells; TNF, tumor necrosis factor.
