Calycosin attenuates severe acute pancreatitis-associated acute lung injury by curtailing high mobility group box 1 - induced inflammation

Figure 7 Effects of calycosin on the cell viability of A549 cells. A: Cell vitality was detected by the CCK8 assay after calycosin Cal (1 µM, 5 µM, 10 µM, and 20 µM) treatment; B: Cal pretreatment markedly increased cell vitality induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 1 µg/mL). Data represent mean ± SD values. ^aP < 0.001 vs LPS group; ^cP < 0.05 vs L-arg group. Con: Control group; Cal: Calycosin group; LPS: Lipopolysaccharide group.
