Levels of IL-6 and IL-8 released in the culture medium of hSF and SW982 cells. Both cell types were treated and assayed as described above. The levels of IL-6 and IL-8 released in the cultured medium were analysed by Luminex assays. a, b Levels of IL-6 production from hSF and SW982 cells, respectively. c, d Amounts of IL-8 released from hSF and SW982 cells, respectively. Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 3). #, * =  p < 0.05; ##, ** =  p < 0.01 versus normal control (#) or TNF-α treatment (*) by one-way ANOVA
