Pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in cells. Cells were stimulated or not (control) with TNFα/IFNγ, and then treated 24 h later with varying extract concentrations (1, 10 and 100 μg/mL) or with dexamethasone (10− 6 M). All experiments were performed in triplicate. Bar graphs represent cytokine expression in cells. The left panel represents TNFα and the right panel IL-8. Data are expressed as mean ± Standard Error of the Mean. Significant Dunn’s post tests are indicated as *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ns: non-significant. The p-value indicates the Mann-Whitney test. NVH: Neoboutonia velutina aqueous extract; Dexa: Dexamethasone; TNFα: Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha; IFNγ: Interferon gamma; IL-8: Interleukin-8; GAPDH: Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase
