Suppression of Osteopontin Functions by Levocetirizine, a Histamine Receptor Antagonist, In Vitro
Figure 7
Influence of levocetirizine (LCT) on mRNA expression for osteopontin (OPN) in nasal epithelial cells in vitro. Nasal epithelial cells obtained from five different subjects were stimulated with 10 ng/mL TNF-α (TNF) in the presence of various concentrations of LCT for 12 h. mRNA expression was examined by real-time RT-PCR. *Significant () versus TNF alone.
