Effect of AgNPs-CHL and AgNPs-PEG-MET on intracellular production of cytokines by RAW264.7 cells. Cells were treated with AgNPs-drugs for 24 hours and LPS (1 µg/mL) was used to induce inflammation: (A) production of IL-1β; (B) production of IL-6; (C) production of TNFα; (D) production of IL-8. Data are presented as mean ± SD. ##P < 0.01 (vs untreated control), *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 (vs control treated with LPS).
