Comparison of IC50-DEX values of each group (n = 3)
| Group | IC50-DEX |
|---|---|
| Control | (7.11 ± 1.83) × 10–10 |
| CSE | (5.89 ± 1.68) × 10–7* |
| DEX+MET | (3.42 ± 0.95) × 10–9# |
| DEX+MET+MK571 | (4.16 ± 0.81) × 10–8## |
Values are presented as mean ± SD. IC50-DEX, half-maximal inhibition concentration of DEX; DEX, dexamethasone; MET, metformin; CSE, cigarette smoke extract. *p < 0.01 vs. control group; #p < 0.05 vs. CSE group; ##p < 0.05 vs. DEX+MET group.
