OxLDL uptake and scavenger receptor expression in HSP60 KD TDMs. Knockdown of HSP60 in TDMs was confirmed by (a) quantitative RT-PCR and (b) western blotting (n = 3). **p < 0.01, vs untreated KD-Control, two-tailed Student’s t-test. TDMs were subjected to ORO staining to check the OxLDL uptake (c). Representative images of stained cells (Scale bar = 10 µm) and (d) quantitative measurement of OxLDL accumulation. mRNA expression of (e) SR-A1, (f) CD36 and (g) SR-B1 was evaluated by quantitative RT-PCR. (h) Comparative analysis of mRNA expression of the three SRs in OxLDL treated KD-Control and HSP60 KD TDMs expressed as percentage of total fold change observed in respective groups. Data were expressed as Mean ± SEM (n = 3). *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001 vs untreated KD-Control. #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001 vs untreated HSP60 KD. +p < 0.05, +++p < 0.001 KD-Control group vs HSP60 KD group, ns non-significant, Two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test.
