Culture medium from Mφ^PAR-2-/- reduced inflammatory responsiveness in SMC. Mφ from control mice and PAR-2-deficient mice (Mφ^PAR-2-/-) were preincubated with LPS, subsequently cell-free culture supernatants from Mφ or Mφ^PAR-2-/- were transferred to untreated SMC cultures. Relative quantitative PCR analysis revealed that culture medium from Mφ^PAR-2-/- induced a significant down-regulation of VCAM-1 (A) and ICAM-1 (B) expression in SMC, did not affect the expression of IL-1β (C) and IL-6 (D) in SMC. Data represent relative fold of mRNA expression as compared to the control group. Data represent mean ± SD. ^∗P < 0.05.
