Comparison of cytokine/chemokine release in BMDM and pMACs in response to polarization.
| Protein | Absolute concentration | Normalized protein release | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cell type main effect | Polarization main effect | Interaction effect | Cell type main effect | Polarization main effect | Interaction effect | |
| IL-10 | <0.001 | 0.001 | 0.001 | <0.001 | <0.001 | <0.001 |
| IL-12 p40 | 0.02 | 0.001 | 0.664 | 0.574 | <0.001 | 0.545 |
| IL-6 (NSD from 1) | 0.362 | 0.247 | 0.692 | 0.281 | 0.092 | 0.959 |
| CXCL1/KC | 0.386 | <0.001 | 0.026 | <0.001 | <0.002 | <0.003 |
| CCL5/RANTES | 0.019 | 0.082 | 0.635 | 0.077 | 0.016 | 0.528 |
| CCL2/MCP-1 | 0.002 | <0.001 | <0.001 | 0.105 | <0.001 | <0.001 |
BMDM and pMACs were polarized as described in Methods, the media was collected and secretion of the indicated genes quantified by Multiplex®. The released protein (Figure 9) was either fit with a linear model (Left columns) or normalized to their respective controls, logarithmically-transformed, and fit with a linear model (Right columns) and analyzed by ANOVA (α = 0.05). Significance was based on cell type (irrespective of polarization), polarization (irrespective of cell type), or a differential response dependent on both cell type and polarization (interaction effect). Statistically significant differences based on cell type, polarization, or both are indicated in bold text. n = BMDM and pMACs from 4–7 animals. The interaction significance indicates that BMDM and pMACs respond differently to polarization. Of the genes tested, the interaction effect for IL-10, CXCL1, and CCL2 is significant (bold text).
