From: Legionella pneumophila infection induces programmed cell death, caspase activation, and release of high-mobility group box 1 protein in A549 alveolar epithelial cells: inhibition by methyl prednisolone

Figure 10

Influence of methyl prednisolone on caspase activity inL. pneumophila-infected A549 cells. Cells were pre-treated with and without methyl prednisolone (53.4 μM) for one day, and subsequently stimulated. After a 1-day incubation, caspases activity was measured colorimetrically. The activities of caspase 3 (A), 8 (B), 9 (C), and 1 (D) are presented. Data are mean ± SD of four or six different experiments. * P < 0.05. m-P; methyl prednisolone.
