p38 inhibitor inhibited LPS induced secretion of inflammatory factors in THP-1 cells
ELISA assay of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-8 levels in the supernatants of THP-1 cells treated with LPS and SB203580. Values were expressed as mean ± SD (n=5). *P<0.05 compared with untreated control cells. #P<0.05 compared with cells treated with LPS alone.
