Effects on inflammatory factors in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. Cells were incubated with CSSPW (15 ng/mL, 1.5 μg/mL and 150 μg/mL), Dex (0.13 mg/mL) and LPS (1 μg/mL) for 24 h. The CSSPW could decrease the level of NO (a) to varying degrees. Similarly, LPS-induced increase in IL-6 (b), PGE₂ (c) and TNF-α (d) contents were also inhibited after administration with CSSPW, especially at 150 μg/mL. All data were represented as mean ± SD (n = 6). ^*p < 0.05, ^**p < 0.01 vs. the Con group; ^#p < 0.05, ^##p < 0.01 vs. the LPS group; ^$p < 0.05, ^$$p < 0.01 vs. the 15 ng/mL group
