Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of a 6 h incubation with CML (300 µM) or acrylamide (5 mM) on relative mRNA expressions of genes coding for NF-κB and CXCL8 ( a ) measured by qPCR, and on IL-8 secretion measured by ELISA, in the apical ( b ) and the basal ( c ) media, and on the relative mRNA expression of genes coding for the pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic signaling pathways measured by qPCR ( d ) from the Caco-2/TC7 and HT29-MTX co-culture. Data were expressed as mean ± SEM ( n = 12). The level of gene expression was expressed as the fold induction over the CTL group set at 1. *, **, statistically significant difference ( p < 0.05; p < 0.01 vs. CTL); #, ## statistically significant difference ( p < 0.05; p < 0.01 vs. acrylamide).
