Figure 5

Ex vivo production of LPS-stimulated PTX3 (a, b) and the senescent-associated inflammatory cytokines following 4- and 24-hour stimulation of isolated PBMCs with LPS, PTX3, and PTX3+LPS in middle-aged and young adults (c–j). In addition, the capacity of PTX3 to produce and alter the LPS-stimulated production of senescent-associated inflammatory cytokines ex vivo was examined. ∗ indicates a significant difference in middle-aged compared to young adults; # indicates a significant difference compared to unstimulated control culture conditions; ¥ indicates a significant difference compared to LPS-stimulated culture conditions; § indicates a significant difference compared to PTX3-stimulated culture conditions (p ≤ 0.05).
