Dynamics of inflammatory cytokine and Gas6/ProS production. (a and b) Effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on inflammatory cytokine, Gas6 and ProS production. At 6 hr after culture in serum-free medium, the macrophages were treated with 100 ng/ml LPS for the indicated duration. The inflammatory cytokine level (a), as well as Gas6 and ProS levels (b) in the medium were measured using ELISA. (c) The macrophages were treated with 100 ng/ml LPS for the indicated duration. Exogenous Gas6 or ProS (0·2 ng/ml) were added into the culture 20 hr after LPS treatment. The cytokine production was measured using ELISA. Data are the mean ± SEM of three experiments (n = 3 mice per experiment). *P < 0·05; **P < 0·01.
