ELISA kits (TaKaRa, Dalian, China) were adopted to examine interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) levels. Cells were cultured in a 6-well plate at 37°C in 5% CO2 for 24 h and starved for 12 h. Besides, the cell supernatant was subsequently collected, with the concentration of inflammatory cytokines detected according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
