Modulation of Inflammatory Reactions by Low-Dose Ionizing Radiation: Cytokine Release of Murine Endothelial Cells Is Dependent on Culture Conditions

Figure 5

Relative MCP-1 mRNA expression level of (a) 2D- and (b) 3D-cultured mlEND.1 cells. The cytokine expression was determined by quantitative real-time PCR at three time points after irradiation with low doses of X-rays. Changes in cytokine expression are presented as mean deviation (SD) from four independent experiments. The expression of MCP-1 was normalized to the housekeeping gene GAPDH; asterisks illustrate significance: and .
