(a) Effect of CU-CPT8m treatment on the production of
IL-1β and TNF-α in synovial cell harvested from OA patients. The
graph represents percent change 24 h after inhibitor treatment as compared to
untreated cells from the same patient. Each data point represents an independent
sample read. Center lines indicate means, and whiskers indicate ±
SD. (n = 3 independent experiments for
IL-1β, and n = 4 independent experiment for TNF-α,
P-values were determined using one-way ANOVA, *P
< 0.05, **P < 0.01). (b) Effects of
CU-CPT8m and CU-CPT9a treatment on the production
of TNF-α in PBMC cells harvested from RA patients. Each data point
represents an independent sample read. Center lines indicate means, and whiskers
indicate ± s.e.m. (n = 4 independent experiments for
CU-CPT8m, and n = 3 independent experiments for
CU-CPT9a, P-values were determined using
one-way ANOVA, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01,
***P < 0.001).
