4-OI inhibited the ROS production, thereby inhibiting the activation of MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway. (A–G) 4-OI significantly reduced the expression levels of p-JNK, p-P38, p-ERK, and p-P65, and promoting the expression of Nrf2/HO-1 in RAW264.7 cells. (H, I) LPS promoted macrophage ROS production and 4-OI inhibited the ROS production in RAW264.7 cells. (J) Flow cytometry results showed that the macrophage purity reached 90%. (K, L) 4-OI significantly inhibited the expression of p-P38, p-ERK, and p-P65, and promote the expression of NRF2/HO-1 in BMDMs. Data are shown as the mean ± SD, ∗P < 0.05; ∗∗P < 0.01; ∗∗∗P < 0.001.
