Expression of mRNA and protein levels of the inflammatory markers in hPDLCs after different dynamic cyclic stress loading for 5 days. a Real-time PCR results of pro-inflammatory markers, including IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α and MCP-1 mRNA expression in hPDLCs after different cyclic stress loading for 5 days with LPS or not. b Western blotting analysis for IL-1β and TNF-α using total protein isolated from different groups of hPDLCs. c Quantification of Western blotting analysis. Protein content was expressed relative to the control and represented three similar independent experiments with triplicate observations in each experiment. Data were represented as the means ± SEM, n = 6 (hPDLCs from six donors). The bars with different lowercase letters were significantly different from each other (P < 0.05), and those with the same letter exhibited no significant difference
