Inhibition of zymosan-induced cytokine and chemokine expression in human corneal fibroblasts by triptolide
AIM: To investigate the effects of triptolide on proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine expression induced by the fungal component zymosan in cultured human corneal fibroblasts (HCFs). METHODS: HCFs were cultured in the absence or presence of zymosan or triptolide. The release of interleukin (IL)-6...
