Effect of FYD-CS on cell viability in IL-1β-activated SW1353 cells. The cells were treated with different concentrations of FYD-CS or Con-s for 24–96 h; then cell viability was assayed by a colorimetric kit. The data are expressed as the mean ± SD (). (a) Cells treated with different concentrations of FYD-CS. (b) Cells treated with the corresponding concentration of blank serum as used in the FYD-CS treatments. (c) The effect of FYD alone, which was obtained by subtracting the blank serum results from the FYD-CS results. versus 10% FYD-CS, versus 15% FYD-CS, and versus 15% FYD-CS on day 3.
