Figure 3From: Cigarette smoke enhances human rhinovirus-induced CXCL8 production via HuR-mediated mRNA stabilization in human airway epithelial cellsCXCL8 protein is enhanced by HRV+CSE compared to CSE or HRV alone in HBE cells. HBE cells from 6 HBE cell donors to be used for siRNA experiments were treated with medium control, CSE, HRV or HRV+CSE for 24 h and cell supernatants were assessed for CXCL8 protein release. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n=6). Asterisks denote a significant difference between the specified treatments (*** p<0.001).Back to article page
