Differential M1 and M2 macrophage de novo NF-κB and IRF3 induction and cytokine production in response to LPS species. PMA differentiated THP-1 monocytes (Resting M0-Macrophages) were stimulated for 24hrs with either (50 ng/ml) recombinant human IFNγ (M1 polarization) or 25 ng/ml each of recombinant human IL-4 and IL-13 (M2). Macrophages were challenged with 1 ng/ml LPS in complete media for up to 24 h after which supernatants were collected for (Aiv) multiplex cytokine (Il-1B, IL-6, IL-9, IL-10, TNFα), (vi) representative MTT viability assay experiment. Data is expressed as the mean ± SEM of 3 independent differentiations of THP-1 derived macrophages of passages 5–8. Mean ± SD is displayed for MTT. Statistical analysis performed on qPCR data was a multiple unpaired students t-tests comparing stimulated to control, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001.
