Synergism between ER stress and multiple TLR ligands. mRNA expression of IL6 (a), IL8 (b), and CXCL10 (c) in RA FLS was measured by qPCR after 4-h stimulation with the indicated TLR ligands in the presence or absence of 10 nM TG. d IL-6 and IL-8 protein production in response to combined treatment with LPS and TG was measured by ELISA. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.
