DHEA-induced changes in foreign-body phagocytic capacity and inflammatory response of macrophages to endotoxin. (a) Latex beads in RAW264.7 cells and their mean fluorescence intensity (MFI). Latex beads are shown in green. Scale bar, 50 µm. MFI of latex beads was determined by flow cytometry. (b) Endotoxin-induced changes in inflammatory response signal molecules. Analysis was performed 1 hour following the addition of endotoxin (100 µg/mL). For comparison of phagocytic capacity, n = 6 for all groups, and for comparison of inflammatory response, n = 3 for all groups. Values are expressed as mean ± standard error. *P < 0.05, significantly different from the DMSO group.
