The effects of corylin on the cell viability and the production of IL-6 by LPS-induced HBEC3-KT cells. Cells were pre-treated with different concentrations of corylin (0~50 μM) for 1 h following treatment of LPS (1 μg/mL) for 24 h. (A) Cell viability was examined by MTT assay. (B) The concentration of IL-6 in the cell culture supernatant was detected using ELISA. The data are presented as means ± SEM of three independent experiments. Statistical significances are represented as follows: *** p < 0.001 and **** p < 0.0001 vs. LPS alone.
