Protein levels in hemin-treated macrophages. (A) sCD163 levels in supernatants from lung macrophages treated with 50, 100 or 200 μM of hemin. ELISA was used to assess levels of sCD163 after 24 h in smokers and COPD patients (n = 8). Percentage of (B) TLR4 and (C) CD14-positive MDMs after 24 h treatment with 50, 100 or 200 μM of hemin in COPD patients (n = 5). One-way ANOVAs were carried out with a post hoc Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test against time-matched untreated controls. Data presented as ±SEM. Relative percentage changed indicated on graph. * = p < 0.05, ** = p < 0.01.
