Intestinal inflammation correlates well with the increased synthesis of nitric oxide (NO), which is attributed mainly to the up-regulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). We optimized the use of interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) as inducers to stimulate NO synthesis in Caco-2 cells using a Taguchi design. The results indicated that IFN-gamma was the most important inducer of iNOS in Caco-2 cells. Treating Caco-2 cells with both IFN-gamma and PMA using an optimal mixture of 8000 U/ml IFN-gamma and 0.1 mu g/ml of PMA resulted in a synergistic induction of NO synthesis. Further experiments using a 5-factor/2-level factorial design including Caco-2 growth conditions such as cell passage, Culture medium composition, cell seeding time and density, and Stimulation time were also performed. Cell seeding and stimulation times significantly (P
