LPS induces an increase of pro-inflammatory cytokines and a concomitant decrease of GSH level. (A) RAW 264.7 macrophages were treated with 100 ng/ml LPS for 1 and 3 hrs. After 1 and 3 hrs the medium with LPS was replaced with fresh medium for 24 hrs. IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α production in culture supernatants were detected using Luminex Assay (Bio-Rad). Data are expressed as means ± S.D. (n = 4; *p < 0.01). (B) RAW 264.7 macrophages were treated with 100 ng/ml LPS for 1 and 3 hrs. Immediately, after 1 and 3 hrs of LPS treatment, GSH content was assayed by HPLC. Data are expressed as means ± S.D. (n = 3; **p < 0.001). (C) RAW 264.7 macrophages were treated with 100 ng/ml LPS for 1 and 3 hrs. Immediately, after 1 and 3 hrs of LPS treatment GSSG content was assayed by HPLC. Data are expressed as means ± S.D. (n = 3). nd, not determined. All the images reported in the figures are representative of at least three experiments that gave similar results.
