Synergistic effects of IL-1ß, TNF-α, IL-17 on CCL20 production by rheumatoid fibroblast-like synovial cells.

CytokinesConcentrations of CCL20
IL-1ß, 100 pg/ml166.5 ± 222.8
TNF-α (100 ng/ml)34.2 ± 40.0
IL-17 (100 ng/ml)29.4 ± 54.1
IL-1ß + TNF-α (50 ng/ml)349.8 ± 313.4*
IL-ß+IL-17 (50 ng/ml)225.8 ± 225.8*
IL-ß+IFN-γ (100 U/ml)69.1 ± 103.3*
  • Differences in CCL20 production from FLS stimulated by IL-1ß, IL-1ß+TNF-α, or IL-1ß+IL-17 or IL-1ß+IFN-γ were analyzed using nonparametric paired Wilcoxon test.

  • * p < 0.01, significantly different from CCL20 production by IL-1ß stimulation alone.
