Stimulation of human coronary artery endothelial cells with NETs. hCAECs were stimulated with isolated NETs, dsDNA, and citH3 for 6 and 24 h. MCP-1 gene expression was assessed (A) on mRNA levels by qPCR after 6 h and is presented as fold change over an unstimulated control after normalization to the mean of two endogenous controls. (B) Release of MCP-1 was measured in cell supernatants by ELISA after 24 h of stimulation. Data are presented as mean ± SD. Experiments were repeated five times and analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
