Release of IL-1β Triggered by Milan Summer PM₁₀: Molecular Pathways Involved in the Cytokine Release

Figure 5

Inhibition of PM₁₀-induced IL-1β release in THP-1-derived macrophages by NAC. The cells were pretreated with 15 mM NAC (+) and then incubated with summer PM₁₀ (2.5 μg/cm²) for 6 h. Results are the mean and s.d. of at least three independent experiments. ^∗∗∗𝑃<0.001 versus CTRL, ^###𝑃<0.001 versus summer Milan PM₁₀.
