Fig. 4From: Curcumin attenuates MSU crystal-induced inflammation by inhibiting the degradation of IκBα and blocking mitochondrial damageCurcumin inhibits the mRNA expression of MSU crystals induced inflammatory cytokines in the PBMCs. a The relative mRNA of IL-1β (n = 3, mean ± SEM). b The relative mRNA of IL-6 (n = 3, mean ± SEM). c The relative mRNA of TNF-α (n = 3, mean ± SEM). d The relative mRNA of COX-2 (n = 3, mean ± SEM). The data represent the mean ± SEM for three experiments. #Significantly different from absence both MSU and curcumin. *Significantly different from absence of curcumin, P < 0.05Back to article page
