Fenretinide inhibited Aspergillus fumigatus-induced production of IL-1β through blockade of the LOX-1/JNK pathway in the mice cornea. A, After fenretinide pretreatment, mRNA expression of LOX-1 was significantly downregulated in A. fumigatus-infected mouse corneas (n = 6/group) at 1 day after infection. B, mRNA expression of IL-1β was also downregulated. C, Compared with infected controls, LOX-1, phosphorylated JNK, and pro-IL-1β protein levels in corneas were significantly lower at 1 day after infection in fenretinide-pretreated mice. JNK protein levels were not affected by fenretinide pretreatment (P > 0.05). The mean values and SDs of 2 independent experiments are shown.
