Figure Lengend Snippet: Inhibition of LPS-induced TNF- α (pg/ml) production by HNK, MCP, and MCP : HNK (9 : 1) in RAW 264.7 mouse monocyte cell line. The cells were treated with compounds and/or LPS in starvation medium and TNF- α analyzed by ELISA. Inhibition curves were analyzed by paired t test; ∗ p < 0.05 for HNK versus MCP, and HNK versus MCP : HNK (9 : 1); S, synergism between MCP and HNK.

Article Snippet: TNF- α produced and secreted into the medium by the cells was analyzed by ELISA protocol using the mouse TNF- α Quantikine ELISA kit (R&D systems, Minneapolis, MN) as per manufacturer's instructions [ ].

Techniques: Inhibition, Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay

Article Title: Quantity of alcohol drinking positively correlates with serum levels of endotoxin and markers of monocyte activation

doi: 10.1038/s41598-017-04669-7

Figure Lengend Snippet: Box plots showed the levels of sCD14 and sCD163 in the serum of controls and excessive drinkers (ED)

Article Snippet: Commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used according to the manufacturers’ protocols for measuring sCD14 (R&D System, Cat#DC140, Minneapolis, MN), and sCD163 (MyBioSource, Cat # MBS728094, San Diego, CA).

Article Title: Quantity of alcohol drinking positively correlates with serum levels of endotoxin and markers of monocyte activation

doi: 10.1038/s41598-017-04669-7

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A , B ) Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from healthy controls ( A and B ) and pre-treated with ethanol ranging from 6.25 mM–50 mM (1.4 mg–10 mg%) followed by treatment with LPS (10 ng/ml for 6 hrs). Ethanol primes PBMCs for LPS-induced inflammatory responses, as indicated by the increase in the levels of sCD14 and sCD163 in the supernatant in the dose dependent manner. ( C , D ) PBMCs were isolated from excessive drinkers and subjected to the stimulation with LPS (10 ng/ml for 6 hrs). sCD14 and sCD163 were significantly increased in supernatants of LPS stimulated PMBCs from subjects with EAU compared to controls. *Compared to controls and ^compared to LPS treatment alone, p < 0.05.

doi: 10.1038/s41598-017-04669-7

Figure Lengend Snippet: Relationship between serum LPS and sCD14 ( A ) and sCD163 ( B ). The relationship between serum LPS and sCD14/sCD163 was not linear; however, the correlation was evident when the serum LPS > 2 EU/ml which is consistent with the range we observed subjects with excessive drinking.
