Modulation of OSM mRNA expression by exogenous PGE2. Primary Kupffer cells (KC), peritoneal macrophages (PM) and bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) were stimulated for 24 h with LPS and/or PGE2. Relative mRNA expression of OSM was determined by RT-qPCR with Hprt as the reference gene. Values are median (line), upper- and lower quartile (box) and extremes (whiskers) of n = 28 (KC), n = 26 (PM) or n = 30 (BMDM) independent experiments. Statistics: Two-way-ANOVA with Tukey´s post hoc test for multiple comparison. *p < 0.05
