Figure Lengend Snippet: Cell viability of 16HBE cells treated with individual and combined concentrations of test agents. ( a ) SST, ( b ) ILQG, and GL derived from Glycyrrhiza , a component crude drug of SST, ( c ) NF-κB signaling inhibitors SC-514 and BAY-11-7085, ( d – g ) four proinflammatory agents ( d ) LPS, ( e ) H 2 O 2 ( f ) TNF-α, and ( g ) Poly I:C, and in combination with inflammatory inducers ( h ) 1 mg/mL LPS + SST, ( i ) 0.5 mM H 2 O 2 + SST, ( j ) 150 ng/mL TNF-α + SST, ( k ) 10 μg/mL Poly I:C + SST, ( l ) 10 μg/mL Poly I:C + ILQG or GL, and ( m ) 10 μg/mL Poly I:C + SC-514 or BAY-11-7085. Data are presented as mean ± SD ( n = 3). No significant differences were observed between the control (Ctrl) and treated groups (one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s test).
Article Snippet: LPS and H 2 O 2 were sourced from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA); TNF-α from Fujifilm Wako (Osaka, Japan); Poly I:C from InvivoGen (San Diego, CA, USA); and the NF-κB inhibitors SC-514 and BAY11-7085 from Abcam (Cambridge, UK) and TargetMol (Boston, MA, USA), respectively.
