Effect of GBA2 overexpression on inflammatory response of CuFi-1 cells. Quantitative measurement of IL-8 protein release in the cell medium of CuFi-1 and CuFi-1-GBA2 cells infected or not with PAO1 for 4 h (100 CFU/cell). Data are mean ± SEM of three independent experiments performed in duplicate. Comparison between groups were done by Student’s t-test. versus CuFi-1 cells, ° versus CuFi-1 cells versus CuFi-1 cells infected, # versus CuFi-1 cells infected.
