Inhibition of TNF-α/IFN-γ-stimulated iNOS and COX-2 expression in HaCaT cells by CSE. HaCaT cells were incubated with after a 1h pretreatment with TNF-α/IFN-γ (10 ng/mL each) and then stimulated with CSE for 24 h. (A) A typical Western blot showing COX-2 and iNOS expression under the indicated treatment conditions. The expression β-actin was measured as the gel loading control. (B) Bar graphs show the densities of the COX-2 band and iNOS band normalized to β-actin band density. Results are presented as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs. TNF-α/IFN-γ-stimulated group; ##p < 0.01 vs. control group. Dexa: dexamethasone (positive control).
