Figure Lengend Snippet: Validation of microarray results. (A) HT1080 cells treated with 500 µM 4-MU and/or 2 Gy X-ray irradiation were cultured for 24 h. mRNA levels of IL-1α, −1β, and −6 were evaluated by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. (B) Supernatants of HT1080 cells cultured in the absence of serum with 500 µM 4-MU and/or 2 Gy X-ray irradiation for 24 h were collected and assayed by ELISA to determine IL-1α, −1β and −6 concentrations. Values represent the mean ± standard deviation of the mean. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01, as indicated. 4-MU, 4-methylumbelliferone; IL, interleukin.
Article Snippet: Cell culture HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cells from American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA) were cultured in Roswell Park Memorial Institute 1640 medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS; Japan Bio Serum, Fukuyama, Japan) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Life Technologies) at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO 2 .
