a THP-1 was stimulated by LPS (1 μg/mL) with each TNFi (10 μg/mL) and PBS to ascertain the effect of each TNFi. Forty-eight hours after stimulation, the levels of IL-6, TNF-α, ICAM-1 and RANTES were measured in the culture supernatants (three independent experiments). **p < 0.01, Student’s t-test. b The levels of IL-6, TNF-α, ICAM-1 and RANTES in the culture supernatants of HCT-5 without LPS stimulation were measured at 48 h after the addition of each TNFi (10 μg/mL) or PBS (three independent experiments). Error bars represent the standard deviations
