A Role of NF-κB in TNFα-induced activation of the MMP-9 promoter activity. The data shown represent the mean ± SD of three independent experiments performed in triplicate. **p < 0.01. B–D Effect of β-myrcene on the inhibition of TNFα-induced MMP-9 promoter activity (B), MMP-9 mRNA expression by RT-PCR (C), and quantitative real-time PCR (D). GAPDH mRNA was used as an internal control. The data shown represent the mean ± SD of three independent experiments performed in triplicate. **p < 0.01 versus TNFα-only treatment (n = 9)Back to article page
