Effect of culturing conditions on the protein expression profile of macrophages. Alveolar macrophages were cultured on uncoated, globular collagen-coated or fibrous collagen-coated tissue culture plastic (n = 6). (a) Partial least squares-discriminant analysis plot of alveolar macrophages in the different conditions showing that the 3 conditions cluster separately. (b) Heatmap of 77 proteins that were differentially expressed (p < 0.025) between uncoated and collagen type I-coated conditions (fibrous and globular pooled). (c) Heatmap of 142 proteins that were differentially expressed (p < 0.05) between macrophages cultured on fibrous or globular collagen. Expressed as Log2 of the median values and statistically tested with an unpaired (b) or a paired (c) Wilcoxon test.
