Fig. 1

Effects of LPS on the survival rate of yak PBMCs. The survival rate was determined using a CCK-8. The values presented are the means ± SD. * – P < 0.05; ** – P < 0.01. P values are compared with the control group

Effects of CA on the content of inflammatory-related factors in yak PBMCs. Cells were induced by 1μg/mL LPS, 60μg/mL CA, and 60μg/mL CA + 1μg/mL LPS for 48h. IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β, IFN-γ, TNF-α and IL-10 secretion of PBMCs in yak was detected by ELISA. * – P < 0.05; ** – P < 0.01. P values are compared with the control group. # – P < 0.05; ## –P < 0.01. P values are compared with the LPS group

Effects of CA on inflammatory factor mRNA expression of yak PBMCs. Cells were induced by 1μg/mL LPS, 60μg/mL CA, and 60μg/mL CA + 1μg/mL LPS for 48h. The RNA expression of IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β, IFN-γ, TNF-α and IL-10 was measured. * – P < 0.05; ** – P <0.01. P values are compared with the control group. # –P < 0.05; ## –P < 0.01.
