Effect of PDTC on the mRNA up-regulation of hPhT2/mPhT2
by LPS
in THP-1 macrophages (n = 3) and mouse spleen (n = 4). THP-1 macrophages (A) were treated with LPS (10
ng/mL) for 3 h following pretreatment with PDTC (25 μM) for
1 h. PDTC suppressed the mRNA up-regulation of hPhT2, IL-6, and TNFα.
ICR mice (B) were injected with LPS (1.0 mg/kg i.p.) 1 h after being
pretreated with PDTC (100 mg/kg, i.p.). Samples were obtained 4 h
after the LPS injection. PDTC suppressed the mRNA up-regulation of
mPhT2, IL-6, and TNFα. Data are expressed by mean ± SD.
Groups with different letters were statistically different as determined
by one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test.
