Pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine release of BMDMs in different groups.

Notes: BMDMs were seeded on NC and titanium surface with different topographies. (A) After 3-day incubation, supernatants were harvested and centrifuged. Then, the supernatants were detected using the protein array analysis for cytokine profiling. (B) After 7-day incubation, supernatants were harvested and centrifuged. Then, the supernatants were detected using the protein array analysis for cytokine profiling. Means were compared with one-way analysis of variance combined with Bonferroni’s post-hoc test. *p<0.05; **p<0.01.

Abbreviations: BMDMs, bone marrow-derived macrophages; IFN-γ, interferon gamma; IL, interleukin; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor alpha; P, polished specimen; NC, negative control; NT-30, titanium nanotube anodized under 5 V; NT-100, titanium nanotube anodized under 20 V.
