SFYCT reduced LPS-induced cytotoxicity and expression of TNFα and MCP-1 in lung epithelial cells. (a) A549 cells were treated with LPS (3 μg/mL) with or without SFYCT at the indicated concentration for 4 and 24 hr. Cell viability in LPS-treated A549 cells was determined using MTT assay (𝑛=8). (b) Expression of mRNA of TNFα and MCP-1 was determined using real-time RT-PCR (𝑛=6). Data are mean (SD). ^#𝑃<0.05versus control group. ^∗𝑃<0.05versus LPS group.
