Figure Lengend Snippet: TLR4C inhibited the secretion of IL-6, TNF-α and MCP-1 in primary murine microglia cells. Cells were incubated for 2 h with 20 μm concentrations of the indicated peptides, then washed and stimulated with 10 μm Aβ for 24 h. Secreted levels of IL-6 (A), TNF-α (B), and MCP-1 (C) in the supernatant were assessed by ELISA. The results are the mean ± S.E. of 3 independent experiments and are normalized to Aβ for each cytokine as follows: IL-6, 304.98 ± 13.42 pg/ml; TNF-α, 732.137 ± 250pg/ml; MCP-1, 620.49 ± 20.57 pg/ml. ***, p < 0.005, 3 repeats for each experiment.
