Canagliflozin suppresses IL-1β-stimulated MCP-1 and IL-6 mRNA expression, without altering cell surface adhesion molecule levels in HAECs. HAECs were stimulated with (a,b) IL-1β (10ng/ml) for 6 h or (c,d,e) IL-1β (5 ng/ml) for 4 h following preincubation in the presence or absence of A769662 (30 min, 100 μmol/l) or canagliflozin (15 min, 10 μmol/l). (a) MCP-1 or (b) IL-6 mRNA levels were analysed by qPCR and cell surface levels of (c) E-selectin, (d) ICAM-1 or (e) VCAM-1 were assessed by flow cytometry. Data shown represents (a, b) % IL-1β-stimulated mRNA expression normalised to TBP from four independent experiments or (c,d,e) % positively stained HAECs from three independent experiments. ***p < 0.001 relative to IL-1β alone (ANOVA).
