Figure 6 Dioscin suppressed IL-1β-induced release of proinflammatory factors via regulation of the NF-κB pathway in human NP cells. (A, B) Relative mRNA level of (A) IL-6 and (B) TNF-α were examined by PCR. (C–F) Western blotting and quantitative analysis of TLR4, p65, and IκBα. The results are presented as the means ±SD. * P<0.05 relative to the control group; # P<0.05 relative to the IL-1β group, n=5.
