Effects of xanthatin on LPS-induced mRNA levels of iNOS (A), COX-2 (B), TNF-α (C), IL-1β (D) and IL-6 (E) in RAW 264.7 cells. When cells were pre-treated with xanthatin and activated by LPS, the mRNA levels of iNOS, COX-2, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 was detected by qPCR. These results for the related mRNA expression levels were normalized with β-actin. Data is shown as means ± SDs (n = 3). #: significantly different compared to the control (CON) group, *: p < 0.05, **: p < 0.01, as compared to the LPS-induced group.
