Activation of AM and IM by LPS. AM or IM were left untreated (Co) or treated with LPS (100 ng/ml) for 4 h, followed by RNA isolation and real-time PCR analysis for TNF-α (A), IL6 (B) or IL10 (C). Data are normalized to β-Actin values. D: Comparison of x-fold cytokine mRNA inductions. Data show means ± SEM of four independent experiments with cells derived from different donors. *P < 0.05.
