Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Ginsenoside Rg3 via NF-κB Pathway in A549 Cells and Human Asthmatic Lung Tissue

Figure 6

Anti-inflammatory effect of Rg3 on NF-κB-mediated proinflammatory cytokine/chemokine levels in human asthmatic airway epithelial tissues. Rg3 suppresses NF-κB-mediated proinflammatory cytokines IL-4, TNF-α, and eotaxin secretion (a–c). IL-6, IL-9, and IL-13 had no statistical significance (d–f). Statistical significance was determined by unpaired test (one-tailed) compared to Con (only PBS-treated asthmatic lung tissue), and the values are means ± SEM; 0.05; 0.01, .
