The impact of the device on superoxide anion and NF-κB signaling in Jurkat cells. (a) LPS significantly increases superoxide production in these cells, but the device effectively inhibits this increase. (b) Representative Western blotting of p-p65, p65, IkB-α protein expression in cells. (c) and (d) Graph of the relative density of selected proteins. The LPS leads to the degradation of IκBα, activating the nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway in Jurkat culture. Treatment with the device protects cells from proinflammatory stimuli. Each bar represents the mean ± SD of three groups of cells. *p < 0.001 vs. the CTRL. **p < 0.05 vs. LPS. CTRL, control; LPS, lipopolysaccharide treated cells
