HCASMCs were serum-starved for 24 h and then treated with
TNF-α/IL-1β (10 ng/ml) for the indicated times. qPCR was
performed for the indicated genes (A) QPCT,
QPCTL; (B) CX3CL1, CCL2,
ICAM1/CD54. Data from eight independent experiments (cells
from two different donors) are expressed as fold-change over untreated
and shown as mean ± S.D. (C) CCL2 was detected with
immunoassay (MILLIPLEX MAP); (D) CX3CL1 was quantified with
immunoassay (MILLIPLEX MAP); Data from three experiments performed in
duplicates are shown as mean ± S.D.
