Fig. 2From: 6-Mercaptopurine reduces cytokine and Muc5ac expression involving inhibition of NFκB activation in airway epithelial cells6-MP decreases the inflammatory response in airway epithelial cells. Serum-starved NCI-H292 cells were pre-treated with 6-MP and then stimulated with TNFα for 6 h. RT-PCR was performed to assess mRNA expression of RANTES (a), IL-6 (b), IL-12p35 (c), TNFα (d), and IL-1β (e). Values represent mean ± S.D. *, p ≤ 0.05. a.u = arbitrary unitsBack to article page
