Dihydrotanshinone I reduces LPS-induced septic shock and inflammation in vivo. (A) Survival rate of septic shock in mice. After intraperitoneal injection of DHT (40 mg/kg) and LPS (20 mg/kg), the lethality of 6- to 8-week-old C57BL/6 female mice was monitored within 72 h (n = 10) (B–F) C57BL/6 female mice were given vehicle control, DHT (40 mg/kg), or MCC950 (40 mg/kg) for 1 h and then treated with LPS (20 mg/kg) for 4 h. Monocytes-macrophages (F4/80 + cells) (B), TNF-α (C), IL-1β (E) from serum and TNF-α (D), and IL-1β (F) in the peritoneal lavage fluid were measured using flow cytometry and ELISA. Data are represented as the mean ± SEM. Statistics differences were analyzed using an unpaired Student’s t-test *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, NS: not significant.
