Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 8 Effects of harringtonine (1), homoharringtonine (2), and ginkgetin (3) on intracellular ROS accumulation, MMP-1 secretion, and type1 procollagen secretion in TNF-α stimulated normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs). (A) NHDFs were seeded at 1 × 104 cells/well in 96-well black plates, incubated for 24 h, and the medium was replaced with a serum-free medium. After 24 h, the cells were treated with the samples for 1 h, and the cells were exposed to 20 ng/mL TNF-α and DCFDA for 15 min. The intracellular ROS is presented as a percent of the vehicle control. (B, C) NHDFs were seeded at 2 × 104 cells/ well in 48-well plates, incubated for 24 h, and the medium was replaced with a serum-free medium. After 24 h, the cells were treated with the samples for 1 h, and the cells were exposed to 20 ng/mL TNF-α for 24 h. MMP-1 secretion was measured in the cell supernatants using an ELISA kit. MMP-1 and col lagen secretion are presented as a fold increase. The results were obtained through two replicate experiments, and the graphs present the mean ± SEM. ##p < 0.01 and ###p < 0.001 vs. vehicle control. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001 vs. TNF-α stimulated control
Article Snippet: Cell culture and treatment preparation Normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs) (juvenile foreskin-derived, cryopreserved, 1 × 104 cells) were obtained from PromoCell (Sickingenstr, Heidelberg, Germany) and stored in a nitrogen tank.
