Dose-dependent inhibition of KC cytokines by compound inhibitors.

Notes: (A) The dose-dependent inhibition effect of compound inhibitors on cytokine TNF-α. (B) The dose-dependent inhibition effect of compound inhibitors on cytokine IL-1β. (C) The dose-dependent inhibition effect of compound inhibitors on cytokine IL-6. KCs were incubated with different endocytosis compound inhibitors for 24 h prior to addition of 200 µg/mL FPA/EPI NPs, and the cytokine inhibition was quantified by fluorometry compared with untreated controls. Data are represented as mean ± SD of five determinations.

Abbreviations: AMR, amiloride; Col, colchicine; CPZ, chlorpromazine; FPA/EPI NPs, epirubicin-loaded folic acid-conjugated pullulan acetate nanoparticles; IL, interleukin; KCs, Kupffer cells; NY, nystatin; PDTC, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor.
