Effects of LPS or GYY4137 on Hoxb8 neutrophil vitality and migration through an endothelial monolayer in vitro. Differentiated neutrophils were incubated for 4 h in the absence (−) or presence (+) of GYY4137 as indicated, and the relative amount of vital cells was detected by propidium iodide staining and FACS analysis (a). Differentiated neutrophils were placed onto HUVEC endothelial monolayers in the upper compartment. Cell culture medium was either left untreated in all compartments (control) or was supplemented with 1 mM GYY4137 in the upper compartment (control + GYY). Cell culture medium in the lower compartment was supplemented with MIP-2, either in the absence (MIP-2) or presence of 1 mM GYY4137 in the upper compartment (MIP-2 + GYY, b). After incubation for 2 h, cells from the lower and upper compartment were stained separately with propidium iodide and analysed by FACS. The relative amount of migrated neutrophils was calculated as the ratio between vital cells in the lower compartment and the total number of vital cells (c). Graphs represent means ± SEM, n = 3/group. ANOVA (Tukey’s post hoc test), *GYY vs. control (c: P = 0.0030); *MIP-2 vs. control (c: P = 0.0039); #MIP-2 vs. control + GYY (c: P < 0.0001); §MIP-2 + GYY vs. MIP-2 (c: P = 0.0002).
