The 70% ethanol extract of male flowers of E. ulmoides reduced proinflammatory cytokine production. (A) Secretion of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 by LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. (B) IL-17, IL-23, and IL-10 mRNA expression levels in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. ∗P < 0.05 vs. negative control; †P < 0.05, vs. LPS only treatment (n = 3). LPS only treatment: Cells were treated with 1 μg/mL LPS in Dulbecco modified Eagle's medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. EF: 70% ethanol extract of male flowers of E. ulmoides; TGs: Tripterygium glycosides; TNF-α: Tumor necrosis factor-α; IL-1β: Interleukin-1β; IL-6: Interleukin-6; IL-17: Interleukin-17; IL-23: Interleukin-23; IL-10: Interleukin-10; LPS: Lipopolysaccharide.
