Figure Lengend Snippet: Murine MSCs treated with indomethacin are more susceptible to phagocytosis by activated primary macrophages. A Experimental design: bone marrow-derived monocytes were differentiated into macrophages (Mφ) with M-CSF. Macrophages were then activated with LPS + IFN-γ to induce a pro-inflammatory M1-like phenotype. Activated macrophages were co-cultured in direct contact with control or indomethacin-treated MSCs. Macrophage phenotype was analyzed by flow cytometry (FACS), with all cells gated on the CD45 + CD11b + F4/80 + population, representing differentiated macrophages. B - C Median fluorescence intensity (MFI) of DiD, indicating phagocytosis, was measured in the pro-inflammatory macrophage subpopulations MHC-II + CD86 + ( B ) and MHC-II + CD80 + macrophages ( C ). Representative histograms are shown alongside MFI values. Data are shown as mean ± SD. n = 3 independent experiments. Statistical significance was assessed using one-way ANOVA. *: p < 0.05; **: p < 0.005; ***: p < 0.001; ****: p < 0.0001
Article Snippet: Subsequently, cells were stained with specific antibodies targeting CD45 (clone 30-F11), CD11b (clone M1/70), CD80 (clone 16-10A1) (BD Biosciences), MHC-II (clone M5/114.15.2) (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany), and F4/80 (clone BM8) (eBioscience, USA).
