Figure 3.
In vitro pro-inflammatory effects of Agg-, Lit- and PF87-MoS2. The supernatants from the studies shown in Figure 2 were collected to determine IL-8 (A), TNF-α (B) and IL-1β (C) levels by ELISA. Monosodium urate (MSU) crystals at 100 μg/mL was used as a positive control to measure IL-1β release in response to assembly of the NRLP3 inflammasome. *p < 0.05 compared to control.
