Figure 2

Effects of the Cu(II) complexes and prednisone on the LPS-induced IL-1β secretion. The cells were pre-treated with complexes 16 (0.2 μM), prednisone (0.2 μM) or the vehicle (DMSO) only. After 1 h of incubation, the inflammatory response was induced by LPS (except for the control cells). The secretion was measured 24 h after the LPS adding. The results are expressed as means ± S.D. for three independent experiments. *** significant difference in comparison with the vehicle-treated cells (p < 0.001), ### significant difference in comparison with the prednisone-treated cells (p < 0.001), +++ significant difference in comparison with the CuSO4-treated cells (p < 0.001).
