Figure 4.
(A) MMP-9 production by monocyte-derived macrophages incubated with 0 and 0.1 μM hydrocortisone and 1 μM norepinephrine with supernatants harvested at 2 and at 6 hours. MMP-9 levels (pg/mL) were analyzed by ELISA. (B) MMP-9 production by monocyte-derived macrophages incubated with 0 and 1 μM norepinephrine with supernatants harvested at 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hours. MMP-9 levels (pg/mL) were analyzed by ELISA. Repeated measures ANOVA indicated a significant effect for condition over time (p=0.001). All data points represent the mean of 2 experiments. Significant differences as compared to the control wells (with media alone added to the cells) are indicated. Error bars represent standard error of the mean.
