Migration of mast cells (A, HMC-1 cells) and monocytes (B, THP-1 cells) induced by conditioned medium of BPH-1 cells infected with T. vaginalis. RPMI 1640 medium was used as negative control (C), and stem cell factor (SCF) and CCL2 were used as positive controls for mast cells or monocytes, respectively. To identify the effect of cytokines on the migration of mast cells and monocytes, BPH-1 cells were pretreated with BAY11-7082 before incubation with T. vaginalis, and then the culture supernatant was used for migration assay. ^*P<0.05 vs RPMI 1640 medium. ^**P<0.05 vs CM. ^†P<0.05 vs TCM (or CM).
