Analysis of the Immune and Antioxidant Response of Cellulose Nanocrystals Grafted with β-Cyclodextrin in Myeloid Cell Lines

Figure 5

Antioxidant response of PMA-stimulated THP-1 cells of cellulose nanocrystal-β-cyclodextrin (CNC-β-CD), in the presence or absence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 100 ng/mL). THP-1 cell lines were treated as in Figure 2, and the intracellular antioxidant enzymes, including catalase, peroxiredoxin 1 (Prx1), oxidized peroxiredoxins (PrxSO₃), superoxide dismutases 1 and 2 (SOD1 and mitochondrial SOD2), and thioredoxins 1 and 2 (Trx1 and mitochondrial Trx2), were analyzed by western blotting in the cell lysates. β-Actin was used as a loading control.
