GPS protects BEAS-2B cells from the LPS-induced cell apoptosis and inflammation. (a) The relative cell number to control after adding GPS based on the CCK-8 assay results. (b) Cell apoptosis-associated Caspase-3, Bcl-2, and Bax expressions in the BEAS-2B cells were evaluated via western blot. (c) Inflammation-related p-p38, p-ERK, and p-JNK expressions in the BEAS-2B cells were detected via western blot. (d) TUNEL assay showed cell apoptosis in BEAS-2B cells, scale bar = 200 μm. ^∗∗p < 0.01, ^∗∗∗p < 0.001, ^∗∗∗∗p < 0.0001, ^#p < 0.05, and ^##p < 0.01.
