Figure 10: C12-HSL induces pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in LS174T cells.

(A) Relative mRNA expression of IL-8. (B) Relative mRNA expression of IL-1β. (C–E) Relative mRNA expression of IL-8 and IL-1β. Values are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 6) in (A–E). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 versus DMSO group in (A,B). **p < 0.01 versus the C12-HSL treatment group in (C).
