Effects of S100A7 overexpression on the LPS-induced mRNA and protein expression of IL-6 and IL-8.

<p>(<b>A</b>) IL-6 and IL-8 mRNA levels and (<b>B</b>) protein levels were assayed after stable HaCaT cells (S100A7-EGFP or vehicle-EGFP) were exposed to LPS (100 or 1000 ng/ml, 24 h). The data represent the means ± SEM of three independent experiments. Statistical significance is indicated (*<i>P</i><0.05, **<i>P</i><0.01, ***<i>P</i><0.001). veh, vehicle; veh-100 or veh-1000, vehicle with 100 or 1000 ng/ml LPS treatment; pso, S100A7; pso-100 or pso-1000, S100A7-EGFP HaCaT cells with 100 or 1000 ng/ml LPS treatment.
