Glucose metabolism supports cytokine production in control and endotoxin tolerant PBMCs. (A): PBMCs were incubated for 48h (1st stimulus) with medium or 100 ng/mL of LPS, washed, and incubated for 1 h with 2-DG, 6-AN, and Oligomycin before challenge with 100 ng/mL LPS. TNF-α (B) and IL-6 (D) concentration in the culture supernatant of control (-) and endotoxin-tolerant PBMCs challenged with LPS. TNF-α (C) and IL-6 production (E) by control (-) and endotoxin tolerant PBMCs incubated with metabolic inhibitors along with LPS challenge. Graphs show mean and SD and each dot represents one individual donor evaluated in all experimental conditions (n = 6 donors); p-values indicate differences between each condition as measured by paired Student’s t-test (B, D) or repeated measures one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni posttest (C, E). ns, not significant.
