Decreased relative IL-6 mRNA expression and release, TPC-1 cells treated with 15d-PGJ2. TPC-1 cells were treated with 15d-PGJ2 (9,8 μM) for 0 to 24 h. (a) shows the relative IL-6 expression. (b) Quantitative IL-6 released by TPC-1 cells treated with 15d-PGJ2 against the control group. The data are presented as means ± standard deviation of three replicates from at least three independent tests. An asterisk indicates statistically significant difference from the control group (; ).
