DEX affects IL-23 protein levels. DEX (0.01 μM) reduces IL-23p19 protein production. IL-23p19 protein was analyzed by western immunoblotting of Mφ stimulated with LPS (upper panel) for the times indicated. Data obtained from densitometric analyses were normalized on respective actin signals (lower panel). Images are representative of three independent experiments and data are reported in bar graphs as fold changes relative to the peak samples; n = 3. *p < 0.05
