Adam8 expression in leukocyte subsets and ADAM8 deficient BMDMs show reduced inflammatory response. (a) Relative Adam8 mRNA expression in sorted murine C57Bl/6 blood B-lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, resident peritoneal macrophages and BMDMs (n = 4 mice). Fold changes of Adam8/Gapdh expression is shown. (b) Adam8 expression in wildtype C57Bl/6 BMDMs exposed for 24 h to 0.25 μg/ml VLDL, LDL or oxLDL (n = 2 per group). (c) Western blot analysis of BMDMs stimulated with PBS or 0.25 μg/ml oxLDL (n = 3 per group). (d) Cytokine or nitric oxide (NO) secretion by Adam8 +/+ and Adam8 −/− BMDMs that were pre-treated with PBS or 0.25 μg/ml oxLDL for 24 hours, followed by a 6 hours (TNFα and IL-10) or 24 hours (IL-12 and NO) incubation with PBS or 10 ng/ml LPS (n = 3 mice per group, nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test).
