Figure 1

LPS (500 ng/ml)-primed BMDM were treated with the indicated flavonoids and concentrations or vehicle (DMSO 0.01%), then stimulated with (A) 5 mM ATP (B) 10 μM Nigericin (C) 130 μg/ml Alum or (D) 400 ng/ml Poly (dA:dT) 30 minutes after treatment. (AD) IL-1β and (E) TNF-α concentration in the culture supernatant were measured by ELISA. (B,F,G) LPS-primed BMDM were stimulated with Nigericin treated with quercetin 30 minutes before secondary stimulation. Supernatants and Lysate of BMDM were analyzed by immunoblotting. Cells were stained with FLICA and Caspase-1 activation was determined by FLICA positivity. Data shown are representative of two or more independent experiments (means ± SD) *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
