LPS-induced BEAS-2B cells damage was attenuated by propofol. a “Parachute” dye-coupling assay was used to determine effects of propofol on GJ composed of Cx43. b, c Effects of propofol (15 μM, for 1 h) on cell growth and LDH release exposed to LPS (5 μg/ml, for 24 h), n = 5, *P < 0.05 vs control; #P < 0.05 vs LPS. dg Effects of propofol (15 μM, for 1 h) on TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-8 exposed to LPS (5 μg/ml, for 24 h). Vehicle control of propofol was fat milk, n = 5, *P < 0.05 vs control; #P < 0.05 vs LPS
