A) Effects of cytokines and dexamethasone (Dex) on TLR2 mRNA expression. Cells were treated overnight with cytokines (TNF-α (100 ng/ml) and IFN-γ (100 ng/ml)), dexamethasone (1 μM), or combination of cytokines plus dexamethasone. Quantitative RT-PCR results are represented as fold change from the control (untreated) condition. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM of experiments on 6 donor samples. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. B) Effects of cytokines and dexamethasone (Dex) on TLR1 and TLR6 mRNA expression. Epithelia were treated as described in Figure 2A. Results of quantitative RT-PCR presented as fold change from control (untreated) condition for TLR1 mRNA (grey) and TLR6 mRNA (black). Data are presented as mean ± SEM from 4 donor samples. *P < 0.05.
