The effect of HSC70 on inflammatory cytokine production in HGFs. (A, B) IL-6 and IL-8 production by HSC70 stimulation in HGFs. Unheated HSC70 (7 and 70 nM) and heated HSC70 (70 nM) were added to HGFs (left). Unheated or heated HSC70 ATPase fragment (70 nM each) were also added to HGFs (right). The cells were cultured for 24 h. The amounts of IL-6 (A) and IL-8 (B) in the culture media were measured by ELISAs. Bars represent the means and range of duplicate samples. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001 versus unstimulated (none).
