Lycopene Modulates THP1 and Caco2 Cells Inflammatory State through Transcriptional and Nontranscriptional Processes

Figure 4

Lycopene modulates PMA-induced ROS production in THP1 cells. THP1 cell suspension was distributed into multiwell plates and, according to the assays, different concentrations of lycopene were added for 2 hours. Then, PMA (100 nM) together with lucigenin was added, and ROS-induced luminescence was immediately recorded for 60 min (a). Data were collected on computer and kinetics integration was performed (b). A representative experiment is shown. Values are means SD ( ).
