The effect of ESS on cell viability and anti-inflammatory responses in Raw 264.7 cells. The cell viability of RAW 264.7 cells was assessed by (a) treating with concentrations of ESS (2.5, 5 ppm) for 24 h and (b) pretreating with concentrations of ESS (2.5, 5 ppm) for 1 h, followed by treatment with LPS 500 ng/mL for 24 h. Based on the cell viability result, the anti-inflammatory effects of ESS on (c) No assay, (d) IL-6, and (e) TNF-α mRNA expression were determined. The RT-PCR analysis for RAW 264.7 cells was conducted in 12-well plates (4 × 105 cells/well), with cells at 80% confluency pretreated with concentrations of ESS (2.5, 5 ppm) for 1 h, followed by treatment with LPS at 500 ng/mL for 6 h. The values presented are the mean ± SEM obtained from at least three independent experiments. Statistical significance is indicated as follows: ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, and *p < 0.05.
