Treatment of THP-1 monocytes with NAF and CAF derived CM in the presence or absence of sTβRIII alters human monocytes cytokine expression. (A–H) qPCR from cDNA derived from THP-1 monocytes treated with 10% conditioned medium derived alone from NAFs and CAFs as well as upon 24 h treatment of NAFs and CAFs with sTβRIII. mRNA is normalized to GAPDH levels and relative to control. The fold changes are given in log 2 scale. Error bars indicate SEM. * p ≤ 0.05. Groups compared are indicated by black lines while statistically significant changes were marked by (*).
