SAA-enriched HDL induced MCP-1 mRNA expression is TLR2 and TLR4 dependent. (A) MCP-1 mRNA expression in rVSMC upon HDL (100 µg/ml) and OxPAPC (30 µg/ml) stimulation for 4 h. (B) Aortic tissue of TLR2ko, TLR4def and TLR2ko/TLR4def mice in comparison to control wild type littermates (wt) were stimulated ex vivo with HDL (100 µg/ml) isolated from septic patients (HDLseptic) for 24 h. MCP-1 protein secretion was determined in the supernatant and normalized to the aortic dry weight. Data are presented as means ± SEM. *p < 0.05 compared to control (ctrl.).
