Discussion The main results of our in-vitro investigations are that, in HAEC, TLR4 antagonism with eritoran: 1) inhibits LPS-induced mRNA expression of the inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-8, TNFα, and CCL-2, and of the adhesion molecules VCAM and ICAM; 2) inhibits ox-PAPC-induced mRNA expression of IL-8 and of IL-6, albeit to a borderline significant level; and 3) reduces LPS-induced phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 subunit and IκB-α.
