Protective Effect of Shenqi Maixintong Capsule against ox-LDL-Induced Injury in RAW264.7 Macrophages

SMC and RAW264.7 macrophage cell viability. RAW264.7 cells were treated with (a) ox-LDL, (b) SMC of low, intermediated, and high dose, or (c) SMC of low, intermediated, and high dose + ox-LDL, and the cell viability was determined. ox-LDL reduced RAW264.7 cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner, and half of the cells were viable with 100 mg/L ox-LDL (Figure 2(a). SMC was not cytotoxic to RAW264.7 cells at intermediated dose (Figure 2(b). Treatment of ox-LDL-induced RAW264.7 cells with intermediated-dose SMC significantly improved viability (Figure 2(c). Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. ; . ox-LDL, oxidized low-density lipoprotein; SMC, Shenqi Maixintong capsule.
