LPS induced HBEpC apoptosis and inflammation. 1 × 106 HBEpCs were treated with 0, 2, 4, 8, and 12 µg/ml LPS for 48 h. Cell viability was detected using MTT assay(A). Cell apoptosis was measured using Annexin V-FITC apoptosis detection assay(B). Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9 (C). ELISA was performed to determine the concentrations of TNF- α, IL‑6, IL‑8, and IL‑1 β. *, p<0.05.
