AMJ2-C11 (mouse macrophage cells, ATCC; CRL-2456) was used for IL-1β, caspase-1, and IL-18 expression. Cells were treated with 0.0001∼0.005% in serum free media. Cell supernatants and lysates samples were used for the analysis of mRNA and protein expression. MLE12 (mouse lung epithelial cells, ATCC; CRL-2110) was used for IL-33 expression and treated with 0.001% NaOCl up to 96 hrs. A549 (human epithelial lung carcinoma cells, American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), MD, USA; CRL-185) was used for the evaluation of TSLP. Cells were treated with 0.001% and 0.003% NaOCl for 24 hr and 48 hr and cell lysates were used for western blot.
IL-1β, IL-33 and TSLP mRNA expressions from NaOCl-treated cells were measured using real-time PCR as previously described method. Primer sequence of each gene was as follows; IL-1β, forward
