CD154 Induces Interleukin-6 Secretion by Kidney Tubular Epithelial Cells under Hypoxic Conditions: Inhibition by Chloroquine

Figure 2

CD40 expression is not modified by hypoxic stress. (a, b) HK-2 cells were incubated under normoxic or hypoxic conditions during 24 hours and CD40 expression analyzed by RT-qPCR (a) () or flow cytometry (b) (). (c) HK-2 cells were subjected to different hypoxic times followed by a 24-hour culture in normoxic conditions and CD40 expression analyzed by flow cytometry (, significant relatively to normoxic control).
