Rotavirus Infects Human Biliary Epithelial Cells and Stimulates Secretion of Cytokines IL-6 and IL-8 via MAPK Pathway

Figure 6

(a) IL-6 and IL-8 levels, measured by ELISA, in the media of RRV-infected H69 cells treated with MAPK inhibitors (p-38, ERK 1/2, and JNK inhibitors), expressed as % of untreated RRV-infected cells. (b) IL-6 and IL-8 mRNA levels, measured by qRT-PCR, in RRV-infected H69 cells treated with MAPK inhibitors (p-38, ERK 1/2, and JNK inhibitors), expressed as fold difference from untreated RRV-infected H69 cells. Bar graphs indicate the mean ± standard deviation (SD) of multiple repeats.
