Marinobufagenin Inhibits Neutrophil Migration and Proinflammatory Cytokines

Figure 5

Marinobufagenin’s effect on proinflammatory cytokines in vitro. Peritoneal macrophages were stimulated with zymosan (0.2 mg/mL) and treated with different marinobufagenin concentrations (10, 100, 1000, and 10000 nM). After 24 h of culture, the supernatant was removed for cytokine level quantification (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) by ELISA. (a) IL-1β, (b) IL-6, and (c) TNF-α. Numerical data were presented as of two experiments with and analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey posttest. , significant in relation to the saline group. , significant in relation to the zymosan group. ZYM: zymosan; MBG: marinobufagenin.
