Figure 6. Macrophage differentiation in human PBMCs after AngII priming and stimulation.
Human PBMCs were isolated and primed with AngII or AngII/IL-10 for 24 hours before cells were activated with LPS (24h) to further evaluate macrophage activation (n=9/18/19)
A) Relative expression of TNF-α (TNF) over GAPDH in unprimed, AngII-primed, and AngII/IL-10 primed PBMCs; ** = p≤0.01 vs. AngII.
B) Relative expression of IL-10 in unprimed, AngII, and AngII/IL-10 PBMCs; * = p≤0.05 vs. AngII.
C) Ratio (relative expression) of TNF over IL-10; ** = p≤0.01 vs. AngII, ## = p≤0.01 vs. unprimed
D) Relative expression of MRC1 in unprimed, AngII, and AngII/IL-10 PBMCs; ** = p≤0.01 vs. AngII.
E) Relative expression of CD163 in unprimed, AngII, and AngII/IL-10 PBMCs; ** = p≤0.01 vs. AngII.
F) Relative expression of IL-6 in unprimed, AngII, and AngII/IL-10 PBMCs; ** = p≤0.01 vs. AngII.
