MCP-1 mRNA levels in THP-1 derived macrophages treated with 1XPBS, native EGCG, Vnano, Enano, L-Vnano or L-Enano at EGCG dose of 10 µg/mL (A). MCP-1 protein secretion from THP-1 derived macrophages. Macrophages were pretreated with 1XPBS, native EGCG, void nanoparticles (Vnano and L-Vnano) and EGCG nanoparticles (Enano and L-Enano) containing EGCG at doses of 5, 10, 20 and 40 µg/mL at 37°C for 2 hours and then co-incubated with LPS for additional 16 hours (B). Bars without a common superscript differ, p<0.05. Three independent experiments were conducted.
