Figure 1.

Released levels of various cytokines, chemokines, and matrix-degrading enzymes at 3 and 24 hours in pg/mL: Scale bars are mean ± standard deviation. “*” indicates a statistically significant difference from the non-stimulated control cells at that respective timepoint. No statistically significant differences were found between timepoints within treatment groups. Brackets with “+” indicate particular stimulation groups that are statistically significant from each other. A Kruskal-Wallis test was used with a Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparisons, while a Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to establish significant differences between timepoints for each stimulation type (α = 0.05). Analytes are grouped by trend (A–E). N = 3.
