Figure 5: CAIP induces expression of adhesion molecules and chemokines in endothelial cells.

From: The Helicobacter cinaedi antigen CAIP participates in atherosclerotic inflammation by promoting the differentiation of macrophages in foam cells

Figure 5

Endothelial cells exposed to saline or CAIP for 6 and 24 h. (a) Surface expression of E-selectin and VCAM-1, as determined by flow cytometry. Data are expressed as mean percentage of positive cells ± S.D. of 3 independent experiments performed with 3 different cell preparations. Significance was determined by Student’s t-test versus saline-exposed cells at each time point. ***p < 0.001. (b) Levels of CCL-2, CCL-20, CCL-5 and CXCL-8 accumulated in the culture supernatants quantified by specific ELISA assays. Data are expressed as mean ± S.D. of 3 independent experiments performed with 3 different cell preparations.
