Pf reduces chemotactic migration of neutrophils. Mock or LPS-activated neutrophils were treated with ± 0.5 mg/ml Pf and their migration towards chemo-attractants fMLP (300 nM), LTB4 (100 nM) and IL-8 (100 ng/ml) were measured in a trans-well assay system by Incucyte S3 live cell imaging system. Representative images with neutrophils in top well and migrated cells in bottom trans-well and efficiency of mask in identifying migrated cells (red arrow pointing migrated cells) is shown (a). Cytochalasin-D (cytD)-treated neutrophils were used as a negative control for neutrophil chemotaxis. The graphs represent the time course of migrated neutrophil number in response to chemotactic agents fMLP (b), LTB4 (c), IL-8 (d). Data points were calculated from mean ± SEM obtained from 6 different experiments done in triplicate. *Represents significant difference (p-value ≤ 0.05; two-way ANOVA) between various treatment groups.
