Efficacy and potency of H2 relaxin in the THP‐1 CAMYEL stable cell line

Time point Low CAMYEL Medium CAMYEL High CAMYEL
E max (% maximum forskolin) 5 minutes 86.11 ± 2.23 69.29 ± 2.52 80.02 ± 2.93
45 minutes 41.61 ± 2.29* 32.15 ± 1.87* 38.64 ± 1.77*
pEC50 5 minutes 9.10 ± 0.09 9.15 ± 0.08 9.23 ± 0.08
45 minutes 9.67 ± 0.15* 9.80 ± 0.21* 9.77 ± 0.10*

THP‐1 CAMYEL cells sorted into three levels (high, medium, low) of CAMYEL expression were stimulated with H2 relaxin for 45 minutes. The efficacy (E max) and potency (pEC50) was determined for each expression level at 5 and 45 minutes. Efficacy is expressed as a percentage of the maximum response to forskolin (10 μmol L−1), with vehicle expressed as 0%. Data represent mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. *P < 0.05 compared to 5 minutes (unpaired t‐test).
