DNA methyltransferase inhibition in HBE1 cells. HBE1 cells were plated 0.08-0.15 million cells per well in a 12-well plate. After incubating with BronchiaLife™ Epithelial Airway Medium overnight, cells were treated with control medium, 100 ng/ml h-IL-17A protein, 1 μM 5-azacytidine, and 100 ng/ml h-IL-17A plus 1 μM 5-azacytidine, respectively. 6 h after stimulation, chemokine production (a) CXCL1, (b) CXCL2, and (c) CXCL8 was determined by RT-PCR. (d) 24 h supernatant was collected, and CXCL8 protein level was obtained by ELISA. ; ; ; by paired -test, two-tailed. This experiment has been repeated.
