CPT attenuates the inflammatory response in LPS-exposed BV-2 cells. (A) The viability of BV-2 cells was measured using CCK-8 assay. The cells were pretreated with CPT (0.5 μM and 1 μM) for 1 h and then treated with LPS (1 μg/mL) for 12 h (mRNA) and 24 h (protein). (B-H) The mRNA levels of M1 microglia markers (IL-6, TNF-α, iNOS, and COX-2) and M2 microglia markers (Ym-1, CD206, and Arg-1) were detected by RT-PCR. (I–P) The protein levels of M1 microglia markers and M2 microglia markers were measured using ELISA (IL-6 and TNF-α) and western blot (COX-2, iNOS, Arg-1, CD206, and Ym-1). Results are shown as means ± SD (n= 5). #p < 0.5 and ##p < 0.01 vs. the no-treatment (NT) group; **p< 0.01 vs. the LPS-exposed group.
