Total extracts from monolayer cell cultures infected with SARS-CoV-2 and treated with rhein under the conditions described above will be analysed using commercially available protein arrays to determine the levels and activation state of proteins involved in the TLR-, Akt-, MAPK-, and NF-B-regulated signalling pathways. The mechanisms of action involved include the control of hyperinflammatory conditions by multi-faceted cytokine inhibition of IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, IL-18 and TNF-α; anti-platelet aggregation activity; and potential effects on viral infection and replication. Rhein suppresses lung inflammatory injury induced by human respiratory syncytial virus through inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation via NF-κB pathway in mice ./cache/cord-352911-9wbq9qo2.txt ./txt/cord-352911-9wbq9qo2.txt
