doi: 10.2147/ITT.S571037
Figure Lengend Snippet: The effect of UVB irradiation on the secretion of inflammatory cytokines in the rosacea keratinocyte model. ( A ) The proliferation activity of HaCaT cells at 0 μM, 2 μM, 4 μM, 6 μM, and 8 μM LL-37 was detected by the CCK-8 method (n = 6). ( B ) The microscopic morphology of HaCaT cells at 0 μM, 2 μM, 4 μM, 6 μM, and 8 μM LL-37 under a 40× microscope. ( C ) The secretion levels of inflammatory factors in HaCaT cells stimulated by 0 μM, 2 μM, 4 μM, 6 μM, and 8 μM LL-37 were detected by ELISA (n = 6, *P < 0.05, *P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001). ( D ) The secretion levels of rosacea-related inflammatory factors in HaCaT cells after induction by 8 μM LL-37 and/or 25 mJ/cm² UVB were detected by ELISA (n = 3, compared with the control group, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001; compared with the LL-37 + UVB group, # P < 0.05, ### P < 0.001, #### P < 0.0001).
