GH/E2 alleviated inflammation in a COVID-19-type proinflammatory model. BEAS-2B cells were treated with 1000 ng/mL RBD and 200 ng/mL GH, 1 nM E2, or 10 nM Tes simultaneously for 24 h. A-B. ELISAs were performed to measure IL-6 and MCP-1 levels. C-D. MDA and SOD levels were evaluated by ELISA. E. ROS levels were measured by FCM. The experiments were repeated three times. The significance of three or more groups was compared by one-way ANOVA. Tukey’s test was adopted for postmortem testing. * P < 0.05 vs. control, # P < 0.05 vs. RBD.
