Impact of dexamethasone and caffeine on TGF-β1-3 mRNA expression in H441 cells. H441 cells were treated with 1 μM dexamethasone and/or 10 mM caffeine for 24 h. qPCR against TGF-β1-3 mRNA was performed as described in Methods. TGF-β1 (a), TGF-β2 (b), and TGF-β3 (c) mRNA levels of H441 cells were normalized to GAPDH, and fold differences compared to untreated cells were calculated. Means + SD of n ≥ 3 independent experiments are shown. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001 compared to untreated controls; # p < 0.05 compared to cells treated with dexamethasone
