Figure Legend Snippet: THP-1 macrophages were treated with R14 peptide at concentrations ranged from 5–100 µM, or vehicle for 24 h (A), 48 h (B), and 72 h (C), and cell viability was determined by an MTT assay. Cells without the R14 peptide served as an untreated control. Values are expressed as mean ± SD of three independent experiments.
Techniques Used: MTT Assay, Control
Figure Legend Snippet: Hemolytic activity of R14 peptide.
Techniques Used: Activity Assay, Control
Figure Legend Snippet: THP-1 macrophages were stimulated with MSU crystals (100 µg/mL) in the presence or absence of R14 peptide (5–100 µM) or colchicine (10 µM) for 6 h. The levels of IL-1β production were determined by sandwich ELISA. Values are expressed as mean ± SD of at least three independent experiments. ### p < 0.001 compared to the unstimulated THP-1 macrophages. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001 compared with the MSU crystal-induced THP-1 macrophages.
Techniques Used: Sandwich ELISA
Figure Legend Snippet: THP-1 macrophages were stimulated with MSU crystals (100 µg/mL) in the presence or absence of R14 peptide (5–100 µM). After 6 h incubation, the protein expressions from supernatants and cell lysates were examined by Western blotting. The Western blot images of protein bands are the representative of three separate experiments (A). Bar diagrams showing densitometric analysis of the relative expression of pro-caspase-1/β-actin, intermediate caspase-1/β-actin, caspase-1/β-actin (B), pro-IL-1β/β-actin, IL-1β/β-actin (C) and NLRP3/β-actin (D), quantified using ImageJ software. Values are expressed as mean ± SD of three independent experiments. ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001 compared to the unstimulated THP-1 macrophages. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001 compared with the MSU crystals-induced THP-1 macrophages.
Techniques Used: Incubation, Western Blot, Expressing, Software
Figure Legend Snippet: THP-1 macrophages were stimulated with MSU crystals (100 µg/mL) in the presence or absence of R14 peptide (5–100 µM). After 30 min incubation, the expression of p-IκB-α and nuclear-NF-κB p65 protein were determined by Western blotting. The Western blot images of protein bands are the representative of three separate experiments. Bar diagrams showing densitometric analysis of the relative expression of p-IκB-α/β-actin (B) and nuclear NF-κB p65/β-actin (D), quantified using ImageJ software. Values are expressed as mean ± SD of three independent experiments. ## p < 0.01 compared to the unstimulated THP-1 macrophages. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001 compared with the MSU crystals-induced THP-1 macrophages.

Figure Legend Snippet: THP-1 macrophages were stimulated with MSU crystals (100 µg/mL) in the presence or absence of R14 peptide (5–100 µM) for 6 h. The levels of ROS production were determined by measuring fluorescence at an excitation wavelength at 485 nm and an emission wavelength at 535 nm. Values are expressed as mean ± SD of three independent experiments. ### p < 0.001 compared to the unstimulated THP-1 macrophages. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01 compared with the MSU crystal-induced THP-1 macrophages.
