Regulation of iron release by cytokines from human THP-1 cells.
Cells were treated as described in the legend to Figure 1, and iron release was estimated as described in “Materials and methods.” Data are shown as means ± SD for 3 independent experiments performed in duplicates. Mean iron release in the control was 1.1 ± 0.4 pmol/106 cells per hour. *P < .05 compared with the control; #P < .05 when comparing cells treated with IFN-γ and/or LPS to cells with IL-10 preincubation.
