ICAM-1 and gC1qRexpression on tobacco smoke (0.03 puffs/ml) (TS03) and/or shear stress (18 dyne/cm2), LPS (1 μg/ml) and INF-γ (100 U/ml) treated BMEC monolayers
Baseline | TS03 | Shear | TS03+Shear | LPS | INF-γ | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
ICAM-1 | 1 | 1.05±0.17 (n=6) | 1.31±0.2* (n=6) | 1.33±0.21* (n=4) | 1.35±0.15* (n=4) | 1.99±0.39* (n=4) |
gC1qR (74.5.2) | 1 | 1.11±0.14 (n=6) | 1.63±0.38* (n=6) | 1.5±0.37* (n=4) | N.A. | N.A. |
Results were normalized to baseline ICAM-1 and gC1qR expression observed on unstimulated BMEC monolayers and presented as mean±STD.
(indicates statistical significance P<0.05 by ANOVA).
