Flavonoids and 5-Aminosalicylic Acid Inhibit the Formation of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps

Figure 1

Analysis of the ROS production in neutrophils by calculation of the area under the curve. The extracellular ROS formation of neutrophils incubated with 2 mM ascorbic acid decreases as measured by the lucigenin amplified chemiluminescence assay. Neutrophils were coincubated with or without ascorbic acid for 30 min at 37°C and the ROS release was induced by PMA. The area under the curve (AUC) of the time kinetics (1 h) of superoxide ( ) release of each curve (a) was calculated and represented as bar graph. Data show mean SD from 3 independent experiments of 3 different donors; (b). The figure is representative for the analysis of all experiments detecting the ROS and NET release.
