Effect of herb 10 before and after β-glucuronidase treatment. 10-Gu: herb 10 after β-glucuronidase treatment. (A) Effect of herb 10 before and after β-glucuronidase treatment on the inflammatory cytokine or glucocorticoid signaling pathway and COX2, iNOS enzyme activity, TNF-α: TNF-α-NFκB luciferase reporter; IL-6: IL-6-STAT3 luciferase reporter; INF-γ: INFγ-GAS luciferase reporter; Dexa: Dexamethasone-GRE luciferase reporter; COX2: COX2 enzyme activity; iNOS: iNOS enzyme activity. +,++: inhibition; −: no impact at concentration ≤750 µg/ml in the inflammatory cytokine or glucocorticoid signaling pathway and at concentration ≤4 mg/ml in COX2, iNOS enzyme activity assay. (B) Effect of herb 10 before and after β-glucuronidase treatment on IL-6 induced mRNA expression of COX2, BCL6, JUNB and IL23. Each bar represents a mean of three different experiments (triplicate samples of each). Compare with +IL-6 group, *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01. (C) Effect of herb 10 before and after β-glucuronidase treatment on INFγ induced mRNA expression of IRF1, IRF9, TAP1, PSMB8 and IFI35. Each bar represents a mean of three different experiments (triplicate samples of each). Compare with +INFγ group, *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
