Influence of ECM hydrogels on BV2 gene expression. LPS-activated BV2 cells were treated with either solid (cast in an insert) or solubilised S8 and B8 hydrogels (directly added in culture medium) and the gene expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (Tnf), inducible nitric oxide synthetase gene (Nos2) and arginase 1 gene (Arg1) was quantified by RT-qPCR. Nos2/Arg1 ratio was also calculated. Results were expressed relative to the LPS-activated BV2 cells (control) set at 100% (red dotted bar). Error bars represent the standard error of the mean (N = 4, n = 3). One-way ANOVA with Tukey post-hoc test, * p < 0.05.
