Figure Lengend Snippet: Anti-inflammatory effect of CPX or HAgCPX nanoparticles against LPS-treated HGF-1 cells. ( A ) Cell viability; ( B ) Expression of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and TNF-α. For evaluation of inflammatory cytokines, CPX or HAgCPX nanoparticles were treated to cells. Final concentration was 20 µg/mL based on CPX) were treated to cells. HAgCPX nanoparticles in aqueous solution were diluted with media to be 20 µg CPX/mL. ( C ) Wound healing assay. Cells were treated with CPX or HAgCPX nanoparticles for 12 h. The dose of drug was 20 µg/mL based on CPX both of CPX or HAgCPX nanoparticles. After that, LPS (10 μg/ml) was treated to cells for 12 h. Cells were scratched and the cells were cultured for 48 h. The significance is as follows: #### p < 0.0001 compared with the control group; ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001 compared with the LPS control group; n., not significant.
