From: THR0921, a novel peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma agonist, reduces the severity of collagen-induced arthritis

Figure 4

Cytokine production by spleen cells. Spleens were obtained from control DBA/1J (Control) collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice, and THR0921 treated mice at day 42 and single cell suspensions were cultured with medium alone, 50 μg/ml type II collagen, or 5 mg/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 48 h. The levels of INF-γ, IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were measured in supernatants using a specific enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay. Histograms represent the mean ± standard error of the mean (n = 10/group; the hash symbol indicates p < 0.01 from control; the dagger symbol indicates p < 0.05 versus CIA; asterisks indicate p < 0.01 versus CIA).
