The concentration of IL-6 synthesized by THP-1-derived macrophages after 24 h of incubation with selected extracts obtained from curdlan-based biomaterials enriched with CE or XN. Extract from polystyrene (PS) served as a negative control, while the extract from PS with the addition of 100 ng/mL LPS served as a positive control. In order to determine the anti-inflammatory properties of extracts from tested curdlan-based biomaterials, they were also supplemented with 100 ng/mL LPS. The data were obtained using ELISA assay. * Significantly different results compared to results obtained for extracts from polystyrene (PS)—negative control of the experiment. ^{} Significantly different results compared to results obtained for extracts from polystyrene (PS) supplemented with 100 ng/mL LPS—positive control of the experiment. ^# Significantly different results compared to results obtained for extracts from control biomaterial (Cur) supplemented with 100 ng/mL LPS; one-way ANOVA test followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons, p < 0.05.
