Figure 6From: Altered serum levels of IL-33 in patients with advanced systolic chronic heart failure: correlation with oxidative stressRecombinant human IL-33 dose-dependently reduced MDA contents (A, n = 6) and increased SOD activity (B, n = 6) in Ang II-stimulated AC16 cells, which could be dramatically attenuated by sST2. Data are the mean ± SEM. All results were from three independent sets. Statistical analyses were undertaken using one-way ANOVA with the Tukey post-hoc test for multiple comparisons. The paired t-test was used to compare values for samples with and without sST2 (10 μg/ml). *, P < 0.05 versus Ang II+PBS; §, P < 0.01 versus 1 ng/ml IL-33; ¶, P < 0.05 versus 5 ng/ml IL-33; ‡, P < 0.05 versus 10 ng/ml IL-33. Abbreviations are the same as those shown in Table 1.Back to article page
