IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and IL1-β levels in pg/mL produced by LE-derived cells exposed to 1, 10 and 100 μM triamcinolone acetonide (TA), measured at different time points, compared to PRP and controls, determined by ELISA. TA led to a significant decrease in IL-6 and IL-8 levels in all the studied concentrations, compared to controls and PRP. The production of IL-8 by the PRP group was significantly higher than the control group, at all studied time points. IL-10 levels showed a significant punctual increase with 100 μM triamcinolone at 48 h, in comparison with controls. IL1-β underwent no significant changes when the cultures were treated with triamcinolone or PRP. n = 6 donors. IL, interleukin. *p < 0.05 versus controls
