Co-Stimulation of PAFR and CD36 Is Required for oxLDL-Induced Human Macrophages Activation
Figure 5
oxLDL induces IL-8 and MCP-1 in a PAFR-dependent manner.
Adherent human monocytes/macrophages were treated with WEB2170 (50 µM) or CV3988 (10 µM) for 30 min and stimulated with oxLDL (30 µg/mL). The mRNA levels for MCP-1 and IL-8 were evaluated after 5 h (n = 4) (A). The IL-8 concentration was measured in the supernatants after 24 h (n = 3) (B). THP-1 cells stimulated with different concentrations of oxLDL or LDL, the IL-8 concentration was measured after 24 h (C). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. * p<0.05 comparing oxLDL stimulated with non-stimulated cells (cont). # p<0.05 comparing cells treated with WEB2170 or CV3988 with non-treated cells.
