STS inhibited CSE-induced oxidative stress and MMP-9 upregulation in macrophages. RAW 264.7 macrophages were treated with CSE and different concentrations of STS (1, 2.5, and 5 μM) for 24 h. (A) The intracellular ROS was determined using a fluorescence microplate according to the ROS assay kit. The relative protein levels of NOX1 (B), HO-1 (C), and MMP-9 (D) were determined by Western blot. The mRNA levels of HO-1 (E) and MMP-9 (F) in the lung tissues were analyzed by RT-PCR. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 3, P < 0.05; ∗∗P < 0.01.
