Effect of SA on COX-2 protein expression in Mode-K cells. Cells were pretreated with SA for 2 h prior to IL-1 6 h treatment. Total inhibition of COX-2 protein expression was observed with 4 μg/ml of SA (lane 7) as compared to cells stimulated with IL-1 alone for 6 h (lane 2). In the absence of IL-1, SA had no effect on COX-2 levels (lanes 3, 4 and 5). β-Actin was used to ensure equal protein loading.
