Effect of PDT on monocytes adhesion and migration. (A,B) Static adhesion assay on ICAM-1 (A) and VCAM-1 (B). Monocytes were stimulated or not (NT) for 2 min at 37 °C with PDT at the indicated concentrations. Bars represent the means ± SD of 3 independent experiments performed in triplicate. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA and the Bonferroni’s post-test was used to compare data, *** p < 0.001, * p < 0.05. (C) Transwell migration assays of monocytes in response to the indicated treatments. Bars represent the means ± SD of 3 independent experiments performed in triplicate. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA and the Bonferroni’s post-test was used to compare data, *** p < 0.001. NT = not treated.
