TNF and infection: Our results showed that the combination of LV3-miR-23b infection and GI254023X treatment did not significantly decrease the LPS-stimulated production of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 and the apoptosis rate in THP-1 cells compared with LV3-miR-23b+DMSO and LV3-NC+GI254023X (Figures 4(a)–4(e)).
