Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is an interleukin that acts as both a pro-inflammatory cytokine and an anti-inflammatory myokine. Interleukin 6 is secreted by T cells and macrophages to stimulate immune response and also plays a role in fighting infection. It supports the growth of B cells and is antagonistic to regulatory T cells. To test the effect of IL6 on cell proliferation, TF-1 cells were seeded into triplicate wells of 96-well plates at a density of 20,000 cells/well with 10% serum standard 1640 which contains various concentrations of recombinant horse IL6. After incubated for 72h, cells were observed by inverted microscope and cell proliferation was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). Briefly, 10 µl of CCK-8 solution was added to each well of the plate, then the absorbance at 450 nm was measured using a microplate reader after incubating the plate for 1-4 hours at 37°C. Proliferation of TF-1 cells after incubation with IL6 for 72h observed by inverted microscope was shown. Cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 (Cell Counting Kit-8 ) assay after incubation with recombinant horse IL6 for 72h. It was obvious that IL6 significantly increased cell viability of TF-1 cells, the EC50 was 1.3 ng/ml. |
