Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of berberine (BBR) combined with acyclovir (ACV) on GM130 on TLR3 and inflammatory cytokines. a Cellular activity of cells treated with different concentrations of BBR for 24 h. Selection of BBR at a concentration of 3 μM pretreated for 12 h followed by HSV-1 infection for 12 h, and collection of samples. Cells are pretreated with ACV (3 μM) for 12 h and infected with HSV-1 for 12 h. b Protein levels of GM130, TLR3, and HSV-1 treated with BBR and ACV were adjusted with βactin as the internal reference. The expression levels of the detected proteins in each group were compared with those of the uninfected group. c Semi-quantitative results of GM130. d Semi-quantitative results of TLR3. e Semi-quantitative results of HSV-1-gD. f – h Secretion levels of the inflammatory cytokines IFN-β, TNF-α, and IL-6 after treatment with BBR and ACV. i Viral titers are treated with BBR and ACV. Data are obtained through three independent replicates, expressed as X ± SD, and statistically analyzed between the two groups using a t-test. A comparison between the two groups is marked with a dashed line. ns, p > 0.05; *, #, p < 0.05; **, ##, p < 0.01; ***, ###, p < 0.001
Article Snippet: To observe the effects of BBR hydrochloride (Sigma, Cat#BP1108) and BBR in combination with ACV (MCE, Cat#HY-17422), we used BBR (0, 3, 10 uM), ACV (3 μM), and BBR (3 uM) + ACV (3 uM) treating BV2 cells separately at 24 h before sample collection.
